Cameron Mitchell has taken over as executive director of the National Association of Cinema Operators, replacing Michael Hawkins.
The Australian Feature Film Forum (AFFF) will host a suite of sessions across November 1-2 as part of a partnership with the Australian International Movie Convention (AIMC).
Rather than focusing on how the theatrical marketplace best get back to where it was in 2019, next week's AIMC will instead consider the future - and how those numbers could be eclipsed. What could cinema look like? Where do new opportunities lie, and how can exhibitors capitalise on them? How can the whole of industry better collaborate?
Despite a cost of living crisis, newly-appointed ICA CEO Brett Rosengarten is optimistic about the future for cinemas once the US strikes are resolved and normal production resumes.
