How to Make Friends and Put Bums on Seats

Which Australian films are considered a must-see by Australian audiences and why (or why not) is on everyone’s mind.

And the Chauvel is bound to be full on October 22 when an industry forum is presented by Metro Screen (6.30pm–8.30pm) to discuss just this.

Why don’t the majority of Australian films attract Australian audiences? Why did Australian films represent only 3.8% of the total box office last year? What can be done about it?

All this and more at ‘OZ FILM VS. OZ AUDIENCE’. And only $5 a seat.

Dr Ruth Harley – CEO Screen Australia
Troy Lum – managing director of Hopscotch Films
Margaret Pomeranz – At The Movies ABC
