For the first time INPUT is going to Australia. Come to Sydney 7 - 11 May 2012 to expand your networks. Be challenged. Be inspired!
INPUT has a singular way of stimulating debate and ideas through a mixture of screenings, discussions and debates. INPUT Sydney will have a focus on genre specific (or department specific) sessions to better connect delegates within their own professional area. Of the 6 daily INPUT screening/discussion sessions, 4 sessions will be will have a specific content focus, whilst the remaining 2 will be the traditional INPUT mixed genre sessions. Each of the content areas below will have 1 session every day for 4 days:
1. TV Cultural Entertainment and Arts
- Performing arts and popular culture, including programmes about the arts, cultural magazines, and history.
2. TV Current Affairs and Factual programmes - but not artistic documentaries
- Research journalism television programming.
3. TV Fiction: Single TV drama, TV Series and Scripted Comedy
4. Cross platform/Cross media projects.
This will provide a focused opportunity for delegates to see and discuss programming from their particular professional area for a half day session every day of the conference, as well as continuing to offer the richness of an ‘All Of Television’ event.
There will also be genre networking lunches in the restaurants around the screening venue to allow delegates to continue conversations from the screening sessions. See the INPUT Sydney website for further information regarding the programme.
Much of the programming on Australian public television is produced by the independent sector and co-financed by national and regional screen agencies as well as overseas partners. A large number of these independent Australian programme makers will be at the Sydney conference. Also, in following on from the 2011 conference in Seoul, INPUT 2012 in Sydney will have strong regional representation with delegations from North and S.E. Asia and from New Zealand and the Pacific.
INPUT Sydney will be one to remember. Come and share it with us!
