SYDNEY'S VIEW FROM MELBOURNE

HITCHHIKERS VIEW TO CO-PRODUCTION IN ASIA
What were the key foreign science and history projects that successfully obtained Asian co financing? AND What were the key projects from Asia that successfully obtained U.S., UK or European financing? Get a guide to what works on the Hitchhiker's coproduction road map in Asia.
BANG GOES THE DOCO!
The current fashion is to bring science and history to audiences via new formats, celeb driven magazine style byte size information shows, and reality extreme survival. Has the time come to let the 50 minute doco die a natural death?
THE WCSFP FAMILY TREE MEETS THE GENOGRAPHIC PROJECT
Scientist, author, and documentary filmmaker Dr Spencer Wells is confirmed as a Guest speaker on Friday 4th December. National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, Spencer Wells will share with us the latest findings from the extraordinary GENOGRAPHIC project. Hundreds of thousands of participants from around the world , including a number of WCSFP luminaries have had their cheeks swabbed and their DNA analysed in the bid to reveal the genetic roots and the migratory history of everyone on earth.
SPEED DATING
Returning to this year's Congress, the ever-popular networking event, Speed Dating is a great way for independent producers to have a one-on-one chat with commissioners that they wouldn't otherwise have easy access to. Attending producers will once again be asked to submit projects for advanced consideration, and CEs will choose to meet with those producers whose projects are of interest to them. The twist: CEs won't know who or where the project came from until they meet the producer face-to-face! Details on how to sign-up for Speed Dating will be announced in an upcoming eBulletin.
