Peter Castaldi argues that Screen Australia’s continued focus on theatrical distribution and a narrow definition of the term feature film is hampering the development of the industry.
I have worked in Australian screen industries for more than 30 years.
My first job out of school was as a cinema manager with Valhalla; I’ve built, owned, managed and programmed a cinema, the Byron Bay Triplex; I’ve programmed, directed and managed festivals for The Australian Film Commission, SOCOG and the City of Sydney, and worked for the Sydney and Melbourne film festivals; I have worked as a distributor and as marketing consultant for Umbrella Entertainment, Hoyts and Mushroom Pictures, Hopscotch and Galvanized and Felix Media.
