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.

Create NSW, BBC Studios Australia and the Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) have partnered to offer a mid-career documentary producer/director a six-month placement with the BBC Studios documentary team in the UK.

Filmmaker Curtis Levy, whose credits include 'The Matilda Candidate', 'The President Versus David Hicks', 'Hephzibah', 'High Noon in Jakarta' and 'Breakout', will receive the Stanley Hawes Award at next week’s AIDC.
In her new role, Burgin is keen to maintain the standard that has come to be expected of AIDC. However, she also believes there more that can be done to increase business outcomes for delegates.
