Media Release Tuesday 19 November 2019 Media Release Tuesday 19 November 2019 Stories that make a world of difference in 2020 SBS reveals original, impactful and inclusive content slate • SBS puts the spotlight on immigration, identity, homelessness, addiction and domestic violence with a powerful slate of new Australian commissioned documentaries • Two bold new Australian commissioned dramas on SBS and SBS On Demand • Rising First Nations artist Mitch Tambo and multi award winning singer- songwriter and actor iOTA revealed as next two artists to take the stage at Eurovision – Australia Decides 2020 • Lisa Wilkinson, Bert Newton and Troy Cassar-Daley first names confirmed for Who Do You Think You Are? • SBS is the free-to-air home of basketball in Australia, bringing free coverage of the NBL, WNBL, NBA and WNBA • The best new and returning international drama series exclusive to SBS including War of the Worlds, Dublin Murders, The New Pope, Brooklyn 99, The Good Fight and The Handmaid’s Tale SBS has today revealed its 2020 line-up, with a slate of original and impactful programs Australians won’t see anywhere else. As Australia’s most distinctive network, SBS will continue to tell stories that entertain, inspire and champion an inclusive Australia – diverse, multilingual, complex, compelling and rich. SBS Managing Director, James Taylor said: “No other media organisation explores and reflects modern Australia like SBS, telling stories otherwise untold and giving a voice to those often unheard. In 2020, we will continue to lead the way in helping all Australians better understand the benefits and opportunities of a more inclusive society through our boldest and most original offering yet – world class content along with vital services that go the core of what we stand for as an organisation, and who we are as a nation today.” Director of TV and Online Content, Marshall Heald said: “SBS thrives on telling stories that explore complex issues and can have meaningful impact. With permission to be bold, original and genre bending – SBS is a leader in original dramas and documentaries that inform, entertain and, where possible, shift the dial on attitudes. This cuts to the heart of SBS’s 2020 slate – to present stories that Special Broadcasting Service 14 Herbert Street, Artarmon NSW 2064 Australia sbs.com.au Tel: +61 2 9430 2828 confront tough questions without easy answers, and continue to capture the national conversation around issues central to our Charter in creative and innovative ways.” The network will achieve this in 2020 through an impressive list of new programs, including two bold new commissioned Australian drama series. Directed by Ana Kokkinos (The Hunting), SBS’s epic revisionist Western New Gold Mountain is the as-yet untold true story of the Australian gold rush from the perspective of Chinese miners who risked everything for a chance at unlikely wealth in a strange land. Produced by Matchbox Pictures (Safe Harbour, The Family Law), Hungry Ghosts will also premiere in 2020. When a tomb in Vietnam is accidentally opened on the eve of the Hungry Ghost Festival, a vengeful spirit is unleashed, bringing the dead with him. As these spirits wreak havoc across the Vietnamese Australian community in Melbourne, reclaiming lost loves and exacting revenge, May Le, a young woman who has never taken responsibility for who she is, must finally accept her destiny and help bring balance to a community still traumatised by war. The supernatural thriller features a diverse ensemble cast including Catherine Văn-Davies, Bryan Brown, Clare Bowen, Ferdinand Hoang, Gareth Yuen, Justine Clarke, Ryan Corr, Jillian Nguyen and Suzy Wrong. Storytelling is a powerful vehicle to drive inclusion and in 2020, NITV will continue to tell positive First Nations children’s stories with the return of the award-winning Little J and Big Cuz in January and live- action comedy Thalu later in the year. SBS is not only passionate about diversity on screen, but also behind the camera. In 2019, a number of initiatives were announced to develop the next generation of diverse voices - the Diversity Talent Escalator; the SBS ON DEMAND short film festival, and R.I.D.E, a landmark feature film initiative. In 2020, SBS will continue to support new and underrepresented voices in the screen industry. SBS is also home to the world’s best drama and has built a reputation for scouring the globe to bring audiences exclusive international series that broaden their worldview. The network continues this tradition in 2020 with the best new and returning international drama series exclusive to SBS including new series War of the Worlds, Dublin Murders and Zero Zero Zero and the highly-anticipated return of The New Pope, Brooklyn 99, The Good Fight and The Handmaid’s Tale. SBS On Demand is Australia’s most distinctive streaming service and a curator of high-quality content from right around the globe that audiences trust. The catalogue platform features the best in world movies, food, news & current affairs, sport and distinctive local and global drama and documentaries. SBS is also a leader in original documentaries that inform, entertain and capture the national conversation around issues central to its Charter; exploring ideas that no other network could or would pursue. Next year, SBS will explore immigration, aviation, identity, homelessness, addiction and domestic violence with a powerful slate of new and returning Australian commissioned documentaries. Special Broadcasting Service 14 Herbert Street, Artarmon NSW 2064 Australia sbs.com.au Tel: +61 2 9430 2828 It’s a shocking statistic that on average, one woman is killed by a man she knows every week*. Announced today, See What You Made Me Do is a ground-breaking new documentary series presented by Jess Hill, the author of the critically acclaimed book by the same name, which will trace how a love story can end in murder and which will seek out solutions in Australia and from across the globe to see how we can tackle this epidemic. Also announced today, Who Gets to Stay in Australia? is an emotive and provocative four-part series that follows stories of people whose lives hinge on one crucial decision. Australia’s immigration laws are among the toughest in the world, so who gets to call Australia home and who’s forced to leave? The new three-part series Addicted will provide access to a group of 12 Australians as they confront their addictions head-on in a unique treatment program, while Come Fly With Me, presented by Justine Clarke, will uncover how the fight for equality in the skies helped transform our society in the air and on the ground. While most other free-to-air TV serves up wall-to-wall reality, SBS will continue to keep it real with the best local and international documentaries across SBS, SBS On Demand and SBS VICELAND. The network will welcome back some of its most successful commissioned and acquired documentary titles with new seasons of Marry Me Marry My Family, Every Family Has a Secret, NITV’s Family Rules, Where Are You Really From?, Who Do You Think You Are? and Filthy Rich & Homeless returning in 2020. Revealed today, medical expert and TV personality Dr Andrew Rochford will swap privilege for homelessness in the third season of Filthy Rich & Homeless, while TV presenter Lisa Wilkinson, broadcasting legend Bert Newton, and country music star Troy Cassar-Daley are among the well-loved faces joining Who Do You Think You Are? in 2020. SBS is not only the home of original, impactful dramas and documentaries, but also the free-to-air home of basketball in Australia, bringing audiences every game of the National Basketball League (NBL), free coverage of the National Basketball Association (NBA), the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), and highlights of the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL). Basketball is a sport loved and played by many across Australia and continues to grow in participation. These partnerships represent the beginning of an exciting new era for sport on SBS. In entertainment off the court, Joel Creasey and Myf Warhurst return to host Eurovision – Australia Decides in February 2020 and the Eurovision Song Contest in May 2020, live from Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Eurovision – Australia Decides will again give Australians the chance to vote for the artist and song to represents Australia at the world’s biggest live music event. Today, SBS revealed two more artists vying for the top spot. Rising First Nations artist Mitch Tambo and multi award winning singer- songwriter and actor iOTA will join previously announced artists Casey Donovan and Vanessa Amorosi and six more acts yet to be announced. Mitch Tambo said: “I’m thrilled to be part of Eurovision Australia Decides in 2020 and to get the chance to perform on the world’s biggest stage. Eurovision songs often mix elements of traditional and contemporary sounds, which is exactly what I set out to do in my own music. Most importantly, it brings different cultures together all under the banner of music, which is beautiful thing!” Special Broadcasting Service 14 Herbert Street, Artarmon NSW 2064 Australia sbs.com.au Tel: +61 2 9430 2828 iOTA said: “I'm not your typical music competition kind of guy, but I am attracted to the Eurovision Song Contest for the colour and movement… music and performance… light and shade… creativity and self- expression… singing and working an audience.” SBS Eurovisionary Joel Creasey will also return to host the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras with comedian Zoe Coombs Marr, Network 10 Presenter Narelda Jacobs and, for the first time, Australia’s famous drag queen, singer and actor Courtney Act. In a network first, next year’s broadcast will be broadcast live on SBS.

  • 'Noble Savages' on the Television
    ‘Nobles and savages’ on the television Frances Peters-Little The sweet voice of nature is no longer an infallible guide for us, nor is the independence we have received from her a desirable state. Peace and innocence escaped us forever, even before we tasted their delights. Beyond the range of thought and feeling of the brutish men of the earli- est times, and no longer within the grasp of the ‘enlightened’ men of later periods, the happy life of the Golden Age could never really have existed for the human race. When men could have enjoyed it they were unaware of it and when they have understood it they had already lost it. JJ Rousseau 17621 Although Rousseau laments the loss of peace and innocence; little did he realise his desire for the noble savage would endure beyond his time and into the next millennium. How- ever, all is not lost for the modern person who shares his bellow, for a new noble and savage Aborigine resonates across the electronic waves on millions of television sets throughout the globe.2 Introduction Despite the numbers of Aboriginal people drawn into the Australian film and television industries in recent years, cinema and television continue to portray and communicate images that reflect Rousseau’s desires for the noble savage. Such desires persist not only in images screened in the cinema and on television, but also in the way that they are dis- cussed. The task of ridding non-fiction film and television making of the desire for the noble and the savage is an essential one that must be consciously dealt with by both non- Aboriginal and Aboriginal film and television makers and their critics.
