The Screen Producers Association of Australia (SPAA) has announced that Gillian Armstrong, AM, will deliver the prestigious Hector Crawford Memorial Lecture on the Conference’s opening morning on Tuesday, 13 November at Central Pier, Docklands in Melbourne.
“Gillian’s extensive career as an Australian filmmaker is a tribute to her talent and vision. Her influence extends way beyond her filmmaking. An outspoken advocate for our local industry she has passionately lobbied the Government for over twenty-five years on major industry concerns. Her most recent trip to Canberra with a delegation of industry peers saw her prosecute the case for new rules to protect Australian content, which helped sway many politicians to our cause,” said Geoff Brown, SPAA Executive Director.
