AIDC session catch up

Some of the sessions I attended at the Australian International Documentary Conference this year are slowly making their way online, so those who weren’t in attendance can catch the documentary-making discussions. Collaborating with Community was one session that I found particularly interesting, featuring the crew from online collaborative piece Big Stories, Small Towns. Also posted online and in the same vein is the session on ABC Open, an initiative aiming to get regional Australians contributing digital content.

About this Blog

Julia Scott-Stevenson Julia is a writer and researcher of all things documentary, and even dabbles in making them herself from time to time. She lived in the Pacific Islands of Fiji and Samoa for a few years, where she made a documentary about the inaugural Miss Tokelau beauty pageant and a short documentary about climate change in Samoa, which screened at the inaugural Pacific Climate Change Film Festival. While in the Pacific she was subjected to limited internet connectivity, and was staggered to discover the possibilities in online documentary on her return at the end of 2008. She has since been making up for lost time by undertaking a PhD researching cross-platform documentary, and also working on a database documentary about volunteers. Julia is also on the programming team for Antenna International Documentary Film Festival.
