Thursday 14 February 2008, 5.30PM – 7.00 PM – Newtown Theatre
NB this session starts early as it will include a screeening of two new short films

Join Jackie McKimmie and Stephen Wallace from The Australian Film Commission for a panel discussion about making short films from shortplays. This event will include the showing of a short films
from emerging filmmakers Tim Slade, (EVERY OTHER WEEKEND) and Samantha Rebillet(OUTSIDE IN).

Both films are approximately 15 minutes long and were chosen them because they are about similar subjects, relationships between young people gone wrong with a child at the centre. However the styles and approaches to scripting are as different as cats and dogs , one is very formal, one very loose, one costly, one cheap, but both effective.
