VICE and Screen Australia have announced director Isaac Elliott and producer Lucy Knox's Burlesque Blokes as the winner of their joint annual pitching comp, Pitch Australiana, held at AIDC earlier this month.
While many filmmakers still see festivals as the finish line for their film, they are actually the starting line.
Max Bourke will undertake a six month placement with BBC Studios' documentary department in the UK, thanks to a partnership between BBC Studios Australia, the Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) and Create NSW.
"We wanted to tell a story musically, so you could just close your eyes and just listen to the music through the movie and it would take you on a journey."
Editor, producer and director James Bradley will receive the Stanley Hawes Award, which recognises outstanding contribution to the Australian documentary sector, at the Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) next week.
When preparing this year’s AIDC, conference director and CEO Alice Burgin thought it was appropriate to turn the focus to how the Australian documentary and factual sector fits in internationally: the theme for 2019 is ‘The Bigger Picture’.
The Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) has unveiled the 10 feature documentary and factual series finalists that will present at its FACTory International Pitching Forum.
Four filmmaking teams will square off for the chance for $50,000 in funding and for their documentary to be released through VICE at this year's Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC).
