development be-good industry
I see any production of any nature being good for the development of the whole industry.
aboriginal english-author groups north northwest
There are Aboriginal groups up north and in the west, northwest of WA, that do not have television, they do not have cinemas, but they do have videos.
support corporations doe
We are the only state that does not have a State Film Corporation there to support the commercial industry.
art years battle
All the arts are predominantly national, and therefore the Australian Film Commission should be funding us. The battle gets more and more vicious each year.
air possibility broadcasting
They will open up to what I would call corporate broadcastings where the non-commercial material will have air time. There's no possibility of that here right now, none.
world patterns directors
You have always had individual directors who begin in the advertising or commercial world, but they are probably exceptions rather than the traditional pattern.
games information video
Video just accesses international information so much more readily.
risk world film
Film is the most expensive, highest risk industry in the world.
independent people support
We are here predominantly to support independent filmmakers and their needs. We are also here to assist people actually in their production, non-commercial people in their production.
art world producers
Any new producer starting up is to get investors' confidence. Investors are still very very wary of anything to do with the arts world.
thinking long quality
I think the long-term effect of video on cinema is good in that what we are now getting up there on the screen is of superior quality. Videos are just so much more sensitive to the world.
thinking australia rocks
In 1975 Australia was producing things like Picnic at Hanging Rock, in other words films that I would consider still some of the finest products to come out of Australia. I think that our quality now is less than it was then.
two worst term
The worst thing that you can do in terms of bringing a product up to the market is to be two days after someone else has brought a similar product to the international market-It's dead.
art financial film
The tensions are always based on financial resources. Something like film is very problematic because it is viewed as an art form and also as an industry with a pure commercial base.
