ACMI Stories & Ideas Folgen

As part of the Emerging Writers’ Festival, we hosted a panel exploring over half a decade of Australian television broadcasting with a fascinating look at the ABC. With its history stretching back to 1956, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation is an integral part of the Australian television landscape. ACMI and the Emerging Writers' Festival bring together a special panel of writers, critics and commentators to explore over half a decade of what many refer to as "Aunty", with a fascinating exploration of our national broadcaster. Taking a look back at its humble beginnings broadcasting a single non-commercial television channel, all the way through to its current position providing a suite of content across numerous terrestrial, digital and web based channels, our panel will explore past programs and examine the current crop of acclaimed ABC series including Rake, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, and Redfern Now.

Even writers go to the movies. And sometimes, when the movie is really, really, good (or really, really bad), they write about them. In this very special edition of Desert Island Flicks, five writers will share their favourite films and the work these films have inspired. Taking the concept of the Top Five film list and turning it on its head, ACMI and the Emerging Writers' Festival are sending not one but five castaways to the desert island. Once stranded with nothing but their favourite films, these writers will need to choose their number one favourite film of all time. The writers will then spend a lively evening discussing why these stories mean so much to them and exploring their own works that these films have inspired. Co-presented by ACMI and the Emerging Writers' Festival. Recorded on 3/5/2014
