  • Realism the Key for New Film Hearts and Bones New Feature Set to Deliver Western Sydney Refugee Story
    Wednesday, 20 June 2018 Realism the key for new film Hearts and Bones New feature set to deliver Western Sydney refugee story Create NSW and Screen Australia have announced funding for a new feature film, Hearts and Bones, a story of hope and friendship between a war photographer and a South Sudanese refugee set in Western Sydney. Written and directed by Ben Lawrence, co-written by Beatrix Christian and produced by Matt Reeder at Night Kitchen Productions, the film has received principal production funding from Screen Australia in association with Curious Film, and financed with support from Spectrum Films and Create NSW. The film explores the issues of personal identity, the ties of family, friendship, masculinity and fatherhood, all set against Sydney’s diverse and expanding cultural divide. Lawrence’s documentary Ghosthunter which is also set in Western Sydney, made its world premiere at Sydney Film Festival this month, where it was awarded the festival’s Documentary Australia Foundation Award for Australian Documentary. The film’s producer Matt Reeder worked with South Sudanese criminal lawyer, refugee and public speaker Deng Adut* for community consultation to develop the story and scripting. “Throughout development it was vitally important for the voices of the characters to be as truthful as possible,” said producer Matt Reeder. “With the support of Screen Australia we were able to consult directly with members of the South Sudanese community, in particular Deng Adut, who offered invaluable first-hand insight which enabled us to

  • New Exhibition Explores Racism and Diversity
    ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Our island home: new exhibition explores racism and diversity In the wake of World Refugee Day, the exhibition – We Bleed The Same – pays tribute to the guts and perseverance of some of our newest and oldest Australians. Journalist and producer Liz Deep-Jones’ family includes her children, Dylan, 25, sitting left, and Izabella, 19, standing right, and their cousins. They enjoy Lebanese, Australian, Irish, Chinese, Ghanaian and Chilean parentage. By Liz Deep-Jones JULY 2, 2021 Liz Deep-Jones says her family (above) have been nicknamed “the United Nations”, and have been her impetus in creating this exhibition, which includes installations, a documentary and 35 portraits, from which the following pictures have been selected. “The aim of the exhibition, We Bleed The Same, is to create a greater understanding of our differences in order to live in a more inclusive society,” she says. 2 Thanush Selvarasa. Thanush Selvarasa, 31, Sydney’s north shore As a desperate 23-year-old Tamil, Selvarasa left his home in Sri Lanka dreaming of a safer future. He didn’t realise that his new life would result in almost eight years of detention – first on Christmas Island, then Manus Island – and be even more hellish than the one he’d left behind. “I wanted to come to Australia for safety and peace but they took away my freedom,” he says. “I was locked up indefinitely without being told why. Even the worst criminal has the right to know his sentence. I lost hope and tried to end it all.” Selvarasa, now recognised as a refugee, was suddenly released from detention in January.

  • The Fifth Report of Senior Pay and Perks at UK Universities
    Transparency at the top? The fifth report of senior pay and perks in UK universities History This is the fifth report on pay and perks at the top of British higher education institutions (HEIs) to be published by the University and College Union (UCU). It forms part of the union’s ongoing campaign for greater transparency in higher education, including the rationale behind senior pay rises. UCU submitted a Freedom of Information (FoI) request to 158 HEIs in November 2018. This followed similar requests submitted in 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014. All requests were designed to shine a light on the arbitrary nature of senior pay and perks in universities, and support the union’s call for reform. The basis for this report The FoI request that forms the basis of this report was sent to 158 HEIs. It requested details of vice-chancellors’ (or head of institution if known by a different title) salaries and those of other senior post-holders earning over £100,000 at the institution during the academic year of 2017/18 (1 August 2017 to 31 July 2018). It also asked for details spending on flights and hotels, and if the vice- chancellor was provided with accommodation by the university. Finally, we requested to know whether or not the vice-chancellor was a member of the remuneration committee, if they could attend even if not a member and requested a copy of the most recently ratified minutes of the institution’s remuneration committee. Variety of responses The questions on salary, expenditure on flights, hotels and accommodation for vice-chancellors elicited a huge variation in responses with many institutions deploying exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act to avoid providing data.
