			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Synopsis:</strong> Olympian and Trans-Atlantic rowing champion New Zealander Rob Hamill travels to Cambodia seeking justice for his eldest brother Kerry who, along with two sailing mates, was murdered by the ultra-Maoist Khmer Rouge regime in 1978.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UnAQH02GHoA" frameborder="0" width="560" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p>In 1978, Kerry Hamill, a young Kiwi, was on board his yacht with two others when they anchored near the Cambodian coast to shelter from a storm. They had sailed unknowingly from the hippie era of “love and freedom” into Year Zero. Along with Englishman John Dewhirst, Kerry was seized and tortured for two months at the Khmer Rouge slaughterhouse, Tuol Sleng (S21).</p>
<p>The film follows Kerry’s youngest brother Rob Hamill, an Olympic and Trans-Atlantic rowing champion, in his quest for justice. It was during the Atlantic row, 41 days of solitude at sea, that Rob began to properly grieve. Some years later, he heard there was to be a war crimes tribunal, the ECCC, in Cambodia and he decided to participate.</p>
<p>As well as giving his statement in court, Rob discovers the scenario surrounding the capture, incarceration, and murder of his brother. He travels with Cambodian translator Kulikar Sotho, a survivor who tells her story in parallel with Rob’s. Rob’s journey ends in a confrontation in court with Comrade Duch, former Commander at S-21, who ordered Kerry and John’s torture and death. 14,000 Cambodians met the same end at S-21.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2161" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="LOGO-SER-composition-2a" src="http://www.ozdox.org/wp-content/uploads/LOGO-SER-composition-2a-230x300.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="300" />A chance conversation between a Kenyan subsistence farmer and an Australian filmmaker (Russell Porter) in 1986 planted the idea that a quarter of a century later flourished into an audacious, brilliant documentary series.</p>
<p>Catch a sneak preview of this new international co-production, TO BE A HUMAN BEING, introduced by the project&#8217;s initiator, Russell Porter – an Australian filmmaker working in Cuba and Chicago.</p>
<p>Russell is in Australia briefly, fresh from launching the series and the book in Bilbao.</p>
<p>As yet the series is unsold in Australia, see an episode or two, hear about it&#8217;s inception, the making of and its future distribution.</p>
<p>To Be a Human Being is a series of six full-length documentaries, based on six universal human needs. It is a collective portrait of humanity, told in the voices of people from eight diverse communities, and seven languages, from all over the world.</p>
<p>The premise of the series came from the Kenyan woman who said: “You don´t need to apologise, I know you. You are a human being, so what we have in common is very big, and what is different between us is very interesting”. She then explained the six things we all share – Sustenance, Love, Faith, Culture, Fear and Hope. These six themes form the essence of the six documentaries in the series.</p>
<p>The series was conceived as a collaboration between seven film schools, produced and coordinated by the EICTV (International Film and TV School) in Cuba. It was made by students and young filmmakers from many backgrounds, and filmed with the Bedouin in Jordan, an artisan community in Calcutta, the Rastro Market in Madrid, Harlem communities in New York, Polynesian families in Samoa, a remote mountain town in Portugal, an Afro-Caribbean community in the Dominican Republic and the indigenous Wayuu community in Colombia.</p>
<p>The films are now screening and winning acclaim around the world, including winning Best International Feature Documentary at the Icaro Festival in Guatemala, against strong professional competition.</p>
<p>Russell Porter is an Australian documentary filmmaker, writer and teacher with over thirty years of experience. He has won several Australian and International awards for his films, many dealing with cross-cultural and social issues, and the relationship between science and society. He recently retired from the position of Tenured Faculty member, Documentary Program, Columbia College Chicago. He is Co-Head of the Documentary Department at the EICTV (International Film andTelevision School) in San Antonio de los Banos, Cuba. He has extensive international experience and recognition as a film teacher at film schools in the USA, Australia, Latin American and Europe. He is currently writing a book on documentary ideas and another on the Amazon and is developing several film projects.</p>
<p>The session will be introduced by cinematographer Erika Addis, currently the Cinematography Lecturer, AFTRS. Erika Addis has been a cinematographer for more than thirty-four years. One of Australia’s highly respected cinematographers, she has shot all around the world from Antarctica to Eritrea to Mongolia. Her body of creative work includes series and one-off documentary productions for cinema and television; feature length, television hour and short dramas; experimental films, education and corporate training programs. She has taught cinematography at AFTRS Sydney and EICTV Havana.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="alignright" src="http://utahfilmcenter.org/assets/images/EventImages/position-among-the-stars-poster-279x400.jpg" alt="poster" width="208" height="297" />Film synopsis:</strong>  Director Leonard Retel Helmrich has observed the Shamshuddin family living in a Jakarta slum for a dozen years to make his cinema verite classics. “Position Among the Stars” is the 3<sup>rd </sup>film in the trilogy.  While the tumultuous changes that have rocked Indonesian society swirl around the family, Helmrich has intimately captured a family in transition as they adjust to bewildering gaps in education, outlook, religion and even class among three generations jammed into cramped quarters.</p>
<p><strong>Speaker: Leonard Retel Helmrich</strong> is a Dutch cinematographer  and film director Indonesian descent. He was born the 16th of August 1959 in Tilburg, Netherlands and has lived in Amsterdam since 1982. Received highest honours for international documentaries at the Sundance Festival and was the first two-time International Documentary winner at IDFA.</p>
<p>Helmrich is famous for perfecting the &#8216;Single Camera Shot&#8217; filming style and his related technical camera innovations. &#8220;&#8230;you can move inside an event and go with your camera to the right spot, at the right moment,&#8230; That’s what the whole single-shot cinema is about: trying to think of the world as a kind of clockwork, a machinery, with everything interrelated. The bigger and smaller things are just as important. In a clockwork you can’t pull out a little gear because the whole thing jams. The solution is to become one of the clockworks.&#8221;, Leonard Retel Helmrich.</p>
<p>He is currently writing a book about “Single Shot Cinema”.</p>

</strong></p>
<p><strong>OzDox Session on Digital Distribution</strong></p>
<p>Distribution for documentaries is fast changing and we are entering a whole new world where our documentaries are available 24 hours a day to anyone who would like to view them, sometimes at a price: It’s called Video on Demand – VOD.</p>
<p>New companies have formed to meet this demand from educators, libraries and the general public.  We will hear from three of the biggest<strong>: Kanopy, ABC Commercial</strong> and <strong>BeamAfilm.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Kanopy</strong> has been aggregating educational content from distributors in Australia and Worldwide. They stream programs to tertiary institutions, which can then be accessed by any computer, iPod or other media device<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">.</span>  <strong>ABC Commercial’s</strong> digital distribution strategy is to license ABC content non-exclusively to a wide variety of digital platforms in Australia and internationally including iTunes, Fairfax TV, TiVO, Fetch, BT Vision and SeeSaw. They distribute an extensive back catalogue of documentaries including a number of Film Australia titles and are also actively looking for new acquisitions. <strong>BeamAFilm</strong>, launching their portal in early 2012, is aggregating a distinct collection of independent documentaries with an aim to raise the profile of documentary and create financial returns for the industry. In a secure streaming environment with a number of unique value-adds, films will be marketed internationally via the beamAfilm website and also sub-licensed across global VOD networks.</p>
<p>With internet streaming new apps have been developed. We will hear from Peter Tapp, of<strong> ATOM, </strong>who is currently working on developing iPhone and iPad apps and ebooks for iTunes and the Android markets and exploring the new revenue streams that these markets can open up for Australian producers and distributors, not only through sales of the film but also sales of the app itself and copyright income derived from the copying of the study guide.</p>
<p>We will also hear about <strong>FilmTank</strong> a new digital film distribution platform to be released in 2012 from <strong>Red Gaffa</strong> – digital agency dedicated to the film industry that specialises in online marketing, branding, social media and digital content distribution.</p>

OzDox Session on Digital Distribution

Distribution for documentaries is fast changing and we are entering a whole new world where our documentaries are available 24 hours a day to anyone who would like to view them, sometimes at a price: It&rsquo;s called Video on Demand &ndash; VOD.

New companies have formed to meet this demand from educators, libraries and the general public.  We will hear from three of the biggest: Kanopy, ABC Commercial and BeamAfilm.

Kanopy has been aggregating educational content from distributors in Australia and Worldwide. They stream programs to tertiary institutions, which can then be accessed by any computer, iPod or other media device.  ABC Commercial&rsquo;s digital distribution strategy is to license ABC content non-exclusively to a wide variety of digital platforms in Australia and internationally including iTunes, Fairfax TV, TiVO, Fetch, BT Vision and SeeSaw. They distribute an extensive back catalogue of documentaries including a number of Film Australia titles and are also actively looking for new acquisitions. BeamAFilm, launching their portal in early 2012, is aggregating a distinct collection of independent documentaries with an aim to raise the profile of documentary and create financial returns for the industry. In a secure streaming environment with a number of unique value-adds, films will be marketed internationally via the beamAfilm website and also sub-licensed across global VOD networks.

With internet streaming new apps have been developed. We will hear from Peter Tapp, of ATOM, who is currently working on developing iPhone and iPad apps and ebooks for iTunes and the Android markets and exploring the new revenue streams that these markets can open up for Australian producers and distributors, not only through sales of the film but also sales of the app itself and copyright income derived from the copying of the study guide.

We will also hear about FilmTank a new digital film distribution platform to be released in 2012 from Red Gaffa &ndash; digital agency dedicated to the film industry that specialises in online marketing, branding, social media and digital content distribution.

We will also hear from Thomas Mai, a very experienced Scandinavian sales agent and producer (notably for Lars von Trier), recently moved to Sydney, who will speak about film distribution at festivals/markets around the world.

Speakers:

Olivia Humphrey is the managing director of Kanopy, a Perth-based company. Olivia set up Kanopy two years ago and the company both streams programs and sells DVD from it&rsquo;s website to tertiary institutions.

Jessica Ellis is the Manager of the Digital Sales &#38; Distribution business within ABC Commercial and has over 10 years experience in the media industry within Australia,

Gil Scrine is Director, Acquisitions for beamAfilm and also runs Antidote Films - a Brisbane based independent distributor specialising in art-house films and social documentaries.

Louise van Rooyen is Director &ndash; Business Development for beamafilm. She has 15+ years experience with internet-based businesses and also runs her own consultancy, PPi.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong>Screening of award winning documentary &#8216;</strong>1428<strong>&#8216; + discussion and editing demonstration </strong></h3>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-2055 alignright" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 10px;" title="14:28" src="http://www.ozdox.org/wp-content/uploads/11dc4dbb6449e416.jpg.jpg" alt="14:28" width="198" height="290" />Join acclaimed film editor Mary Stephen &#8211; an editor who crosses all genres &#8211; for a screening of the award winning documentary 1428.  The screening will be followed by a discussion between Mary Stephen and Julia Overton where Mary will show clips from other documentaries and will show and discuss her approach to editing and the collaborative process.</p>
<p>Mary Stephen is an accomplished film editor, best known as Eric Rohmer&#8217;s long time collaborator. Initially an assistant to Cécile Decugis (the editor for Godard&#8217;s <em>Breathless</em>) since <em>The Aviator&#8217;s Wife</em> (1981), Stephen became Rohmer&#8217;s Chief Editor in the early 90s with <em>Winter&#8217;s Tale</em> and all the subsequent Rohmer films up to the last one, <em>The Romance of Astrea and Celadon</em> (2006). In the last few years she has worked in Turkey, Canada and China, on films such as Du Haibin&#8217;s <em>1428</em>, a prize-winner at the Venice Film Festival and the multi award winning Lixin Fan&#8217;s <em>Last Train Home </em>which won the top prize at IDFA in 2009.</p>

<h3><strong>About </strong>1428</h3>
<p>In 1428 the filmmakers deliver a vision of human devastation that is &#8216;fascinating, beautifully crafted (Ronnie Scheib, Variety).  Without judgment but with a deep compassion for their subjects, the filmmakers of 1428 bring us a myriad of individual stories of absurdity, confusion and grief. 1428 has won a number of awards including Best Documentary at the 2009 Venice Film Festival.</p>
<div>
<h3>1428</h3>
<p><strong>Directed by:</strong> Du Haibin<br />
<strong>Produced by:</strong> Ben Tsiang, Du Haibin<br />
<strong>Cinematography by</strong>: Liu Ai’guo<br />
<strong>Edited by:</strong> Mary Stephen<br />
<strong>Running Time:</strong> 117 min.</p>
<p><em>1428 </em>gets its title from the Great Sichuan earthquake, which struck China at exactly 1428 on May 12, 2008. Director Du Haibin traveled to the hardest hit town, Beichuan, ten days after the quake and again seven months later. He points his lens towards the town’s ghostly survivors who search desperately for missing loved ones while suffering from a lack of food, housing, and power. Ordinary people who have lost everything are reduced to selling scrap metal for mere pennies and pillaging the homes of victims in order to sustain themselves.</p>
<p>The winner of the Best Documentary prize at the 2009 Venice Film Festival, <em>1428</em> gives an honest portrayal of the painful struggle of the townspeople of Beichuan as they attempt to recover from the devastating tragedy. While the official Chinese TV cameras recorded one version of the recovery process, Du was compelled to film what he saw firsthand in the town, and tell the stories that weren’t being told by the Chinese media. Unlike a typical documentary format with formal interviews and voiceover narration, Du interviews survivors while they go about their lives, attempting to recover what they have lost. He lets the camera tell the story as he pans across the ruined scenes left by the aftermath of the quake, and the survivors speak for themselves without added commentary from a narrator. This strategy earned the film much praise, including that of Shelly Kraicer of the Vancouver International Film Festival: “Subtle, scrupulously non-dogmatic, compassionate, and critical, Du’s film is a rich, open text: it grants the audience full autonomy to judge what they see for themselves.&#8221;</p>

<p>The Australian Directors Guild and Griffith Film School present Directing the First Person Documentary, a conversation with directors Phoebe Hart (<a href="http://www.orchids-themovie.com/" target="_blank">Orchids: My Intersex Adventure</a>), Peter Hegedus (<a href="http://www.horizonmotionpictures.com/myamerica.asp" target="_blank">My America</a>) and Cathy Henkel (<a href="http://www.abc.net.au/tv/mothersface/" target="_blank">The Man Who Stole my Mother&#8217;s Face</a>) followed by a Q&amp;A.</p>
<p>These filmmakers have made revealing, confronting and at times controversial films with themselves as the protagonist. So how did they go about formulating the idea, pitching themselves as a character, directing shoots, exercising judgment in the edit? How did they negotiate the boundaries between personal and professional and relationships on-screen and off with family and friends? What have been the long-term effects on their lives?</p>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 30th August<br />
<strong>Time:</strong> 6.00pm til 8.00pm<br />
<strong>Venue:</strong> Griffith Film School Cinema, Southbank campus (entry from Dock Street)<br />
<strong>Cost:</strong> Free to ADG members, $5 non members, Griffith students free, Gold coin donation other students (ID required)</p>
<p>Join us afterwards at The Ship Inn (nibbles provided).</p>
<p>Please send rsvps to <a href="mailto:rsvp@adg.org.au">rsvp@adg.org.au</a> with the email heading &#8220;Queensland Doco&#8221; by 29 August . Phone the ADG office 02 9555 7045 for any enquiries.</p>

<p>Time is running out for filmmakers to enter their documentaries in the new Walkley Award for Excellence in Documentary.</p>
<p>The award‘s open to a variety of documentary storytelling styles, and judges are looking  for courage and creativity in concept, approach and execution.  The Foundation invites entries that offer an in-depth examination of issues of national or international importance, including investigative, biographical and first-person stories reflecting the emotion and drama of the human experience.</p>
<p>The documentary award adds a 34th category to the Walkley Awards and joins the Walkley Non-Fiction Book Award in recognising and encouraging excellence in long-form journalism, which according to Media Alliance federal secretary and Walkley Foundation CEO Christopher Warren is of increasing importance in an era dominated by the demands of the 24-hour news cycle.</p>
<p>“Through the Walkley Documentary Award, we hope to encourage the professional development of journalists as documentary makers, to encourage journalism’s intellectual honesty in this powerful form – and to recognise those who are able to realise journalism’s primary aim: enlightenment through the pursuit of truth,” Warren said.</p>
<p>Entries, which must have been shown in the 12 months from September 1, 2010 to August 31, 2011, close at 5pm on Friday September 2, 2011.</p>
<p>The winner will be announced as part of the annual Walkley Awards Gala Dinner celebrations, on Sunday, November 27 2011 in Brisbane, the culmination of the Walkley Festival of Journalism, including the Walkley Media Conference.</p>

<p>The Walkley Foundation thanks Linc Energy, major partner of the Walkley Documentary Program, for its support.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1902 alignright" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="antenna" src="http://www.ozdox.org/wp-content/uploads/40122_442123212265_677492265_5439397_588469_n.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="189" />Antenna International Documentary Film Festival, the first of its kind in Australia, will debut this year at Sydney’s Chauvel Cinema 5th to 9th October. With 28 feature documentaries, film competitions with three prizes totalling $10,000, special events and international guests, the event will pay homage to the pursuit of capturing and offering insight into untold human stories. Gathering the best documentaries from around the world, Antenna promises to engage and intrigue audiences from beginning to end.</p>
<p>“I have seen the impact that documentary film festivals have in other countries, not just in the development of new audiences for documentary but also in the quality of the films being produced. We thought a festival dedicated exclusively to documentary would be a great contribution to Australia and we hope Antenna will become a fruitful platform for presenting the complexities of the world we live in. We look to present films that will challenge audiences, while also being relevant,” said Antenna Founding Director, David Rokach.</p>
<p>Rokach and festival Co-Director Alejandra Canales have aimed to create a diverse program of documentary films from Australian and international filmmakers, tackling topics from nuclear waste to a pool party to matchmaking mayors. Antenna opens with the Australian premiere of Robert Nugent’s Memoirs of a Plague, the intriguing story of the ancient relationship between humans and the dreaded locust.  Other festival highlights include award-winning documentaries such as Michael Madsen’s Into Eternity (Finland, Sweden, Denmark), Robin Hessman’s My Perestroika (UK, USA, Russia) and Sounak Chakravorty’s The Bengali Detective (India, UK, USA).</p>
<p>17 of the documentary feature films in the festival are in competition, with awards given in two categories, the SBS Award for Best International Documentary and Award for Best Australian Documentary. The awards accompany generous cash prizes of $5,000 and $2,500 respectively.  Antenna will also hold a special competition for student films in association with the Australian Television and Radio School (AFTRS), with a prize package valued at $2,000.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2028" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="06_myperestroika_red_kids" src="http://www.ozdox.org/wp-content/uploads/06_myperestroika_red_kids.jpg" alt="06_myperestroika_red_kids" width="340" height="200" />The festival program will feature special events, including a free screening of celebrated French filmmaker Chris Marker’s Sans Soleil in honour of his 90th birthday. The experimental documentary, which will be shown in collaboration with the National Film and Sound Archive and Alliance Française Sydney, is a meditation on the nature of human memory and the screening will be followed by a lecture about his work, which is open free to the public. The festival will also host a panel discussion with OzDox and The Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC).</p>
<p>Full program details will be released closer to the event and you can check the website for updates.</p>
