Six of Australia’s most interesting media experts will discuss the new  
Australian climate for making, distributing and watching screen media.  
What we will be watching, where, on what devices? What will television  
and feature film exhibition be like in the future? Will linear  
storytelling become a lost art? The panellists will discuss how these  
changes will affect quality programming, public broadcasting, emerging  
jobs for this industry and future practices and policies.
