Fred Schepisi will host Stratton in a special in-conversation event at the Adelaide Film Festival this Saturday October 29.
'David Stratton's Stories of Australian Cinema' is set to premiere on the ABC this year over three episodes, to be followed by a theatrical cut distributed by Transmission.

The ABC has added additional titles to its 2017 line-up, including two new dramas in early stages of production.
The documentary, directed by Sally Aitken and executive produced by Jen Peedom, features the likes of Gillian Armstrong, Eric Bana, Bryan Brown, Russell Crowe, Judy Davis, Nicole Kidman, George Miller, Sam Neill, Geoffrey Rush, Fred Schepisi, War
