Lumina: let’s talk about the notion of collaboration

With Ted Hope, Mark Cousins, Blue-Tongue and the Spierigs on one side, and the wonderful rise of Indigenous filmmaking on the other side, the bumper edition of Lumina from the Australian Film, Television and Radio School is pretty chewy. And fun. Let’s not forget the fun.

Karen Pearlman, the head of screen studies, is the lead editor of the edition, which is really a double dose after an odd hiatus. But then, Lumina is an odd publication, which emerges from the academic indentity of the industry training organisation uniquely defined as practical.
