Members of the Australian Directors’ Guild have benefitted from the knowledge that comes with being among the country’s most established filmmakers across the past five months as part of the ADG-40 'First-Hand' sessions.
To celebrate the 40 years since its inception, the Australian Directors' Guild (ADG) will launch a series of mentoring sessions from some of its most high profile members, starting this week.
Diana Burnett, the incoming executive director of the Australian Directors' Guild (ADG), cites supporting female and other under-represented directors and helping directors to get more work internationally as among her objectives.
"Creativity is a revolutionary act. So is education. The school does both." AFTRS began celebrations for its 50th year this week, bringing together the cohorts of 1973 and 2023.

Emerging Western Australian screenwriter Celeste Franklin has been awarded the Australian Film Television and Radio School's 2020 Storytelling Scholarship, which supports AFTRS' mission to discover and support writers from under-represented groups.
