Gender (still) Matters in the Australian screen industry: let’s go

Earlier this month, a ‘Gender Matters’ panel presented in Melbourne as part of the Melbourne International Film Festival’s MIFF Industry strand. It captured the journey of Screen Australia’s Gender Matters Taskforce from the announcement of the initiative through to what matters to the industry today. Chaired by content creator and actor Rosie Lourde, the panelists were Screen Australia Head of Development Louise Gough, producer Sally Caplan, writer-director Corrie Chen, and myself, as RMIT’s Dean of Media and Communication.
