  • Australian Directors Guild & Melbourne International
    AUSTRALIAN DIRECTORS GUILD & MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCE NEW PARTNERSHIP MELBOURNE, 07 July 2009: In an exciting new partnership, the Australian Directors Guild (ADG) will present its 2009 Conference as part of the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) opening industry weekend, which also includes MIFF 37ºSouth Market and the MIFF Accelerator emerging directors’ workshop. It is the first time the ADG has held its annual conference in Melbourne since 2006. The 2009 ADG Conference, entitled Rates, Rights & Revenue, confronts big questions facing directors in today’s evolving creative and business environment. The one-day intensive ADG Conference on Monday 27 July 2009 focuses on the business-side of directing and provides a critical add-on to MIFF 37ºSouth Market, where producers pitch slates of projects to local and international film financiers, and MIFF Accelerator. “We're pleased to be working with MIFF on the ADG Rates, Rights & Revenue Conference and look forward to bringing producers, lawyers, screen agents and Government agencies together in Melbourne with directors to discuss these issues, and, in the spirit of MIFF, to accelerate constructive dialogue between us,” said ADG President Ray Argall. “As screen content platforms evolve, directors need to understand changing contractual obligations. It is vital to be on top of the industry’s creative and economic landscape – particularly in areas such as income rates, creative rights and profit share.” “We are delighted to welcome to Melbourne the 2009 ADG Conference - a crucial extension of MIFF’s suite of industry activities such as MIFF 37ºSouth Market,” said MIFF Chair Claire Dobbin. “This partnership highlights MIFF’s standing and the strength of its industry programs and this new opportunity offers another good reason for every Australian filmmaker to be in Melbourne this July.
