Digital Distribution
Business models for digital distribution
New forms of digital delivery offer both promise and threat to filmmakers. Many ambitious predictions have been made about the impact of the internet. But how much is real and how much is hype? What are the future business models? And, most importantly, where will Australian content be in this new media landscape?”
The AFTRS Centre for Screen Business and Australian Screen Directors Association presents an exciting national seminar series: Business Models for Digital Distribution. These one-day workshops are designed to provide content creators with a practical guide to the current and future business models for monetising online audio visual content.The focus is on what content is pulling the money in and what models are being used to make that money.
There will be a number of case studies, including the phenomenally successful Australian production The Secret, which will reveal how the producers used online distribution to maximise their revenue share.
The course director for this series is ASDA Executive Director Richard Harris, who is due to release his new book Film in the Age of Digital Distribution to coincide with this series.
DetailsWhen: 10.00am – 5.00pm, Tuesday 31 July 2007 Where: Ground floor theatrette, AFTRS Melbourne, 1010 La Trobe St, Docklands, Melbourne Cost: $75 (includes lunch)

Alternative transport fuels
Experts discuss future of alternative transport fuels
World leading experts in alternative transport fuels technology will meet in Canberra this week to discuss recent advances and the future outlook of the industry.
The Synfuel Alternative Symposium, hosted by CSIRO, will bring together Australian and international research experts from July 17 to 19, to discuss the latest developments in gas-to-liquids and coal-to-liquids technology and examine the technical challenges to overcome in order to establish such an industry in Australia.
With the forecast declining levels of self sufficiency in oil, the search for alternative, locally produced fuels has become urgent. Australia’s large natural gas resources and coal reserves have the potential to provide security of supply for transport fuels.
However, according to CSIRO Petroleum’s gas-to-liquids expert, and Symposium Chair, David Trimm, there are significant technological hurdles which must be overcome to establish a viable synfuels industry in Australia.
“Many of the technical issues are unique to Australia and therefore demand local solutions – we cannot necessarily rely on imported technology,” Professor Trimm says.
