MIPTV and Hot Docs debrief and networking drinks

Tuesday 16 June 2009

Screen Australia in association with the New South Wales Film and Television Office will host a debrief for filmmakers about Hot Docs, MIPTV and MILIA from recent attendees. It is an opportunity to hear about current market trends, the practitioners and other market intelligence.

Hot Docs in Toronto is North America’s largest documentary festival, which also hosts the pitching forum, Toronto Documentary Forum.

MIPTV at Cannes, traditionally the biggest of the TV markets, is the international market for financing, co-producing, buying and selling entertainment across all platforms.

MILIA, also at Cannes, is a publishing and new media market, focusing primarily on content and the creative development of interactive multimedia titles and projects.

This event is open to all filmmakers and we encourage those whose works focus on documentary, children’s TV, adult TV and digital media to attend.

Speakers include:

Des Monaghan, Executive Director, Screentime (Underbelly)
Guy Gadney, The Project Factory
Mitzi Goldman, producer (End of the Rainbow)
Michael Bourchier, producer (The Upside Down Show)
Anna Miralis, Acquisitions, SBS
Julia Overton, Investment/Development Manager Documentary, Screen Australia
Mary-Ellen Mullane, Investment/Development Manager Documentary, Screen Australia
Sally Browning, Investment Manager, Drama, Screen Australia

Screen Australia Theatrette

Following the forum there will be networking drinks.
