METRO SCREEN PEOPLE
Tutors, Mentors and Filmmakers
Metro Screen has added a few new pages to its website for your enjoyment. We have a Metro Screen People page and a Metro Screen tutor page both clickable from the right coloum on the home page.

These pages give an insight into the array of talented people who make up the Metro Screen filmmaking community.

Highlight from these pages:
Ridwan Hassim
What has been your highlight so far at Metro Screen?
I was sponsored to make my first film KHATABAH via RAW NERVE. It won 4 awards overseas and was the foundation for my follow up anti-the war on terror short film THE BEACH which I have made via the Young Filmmakers Fund of the NSWFTO. After making THE BEACH, I gave copies of it to everyone I met for about 2 years, hundreds of copies, even to Guantanamo Bay detainee Mamdouh Habib and anti war protester Cindy Sheehan. The film hit a chord with some of the people that i gave it to and that is how I secured finance to make my first feature. I was also accepted as part of a METRO SCREEN DOCUMENTARY SCHOLORSHIP COURSE in 2007. I completed a short documentary about my 4 year old daughter Yasmeena called THE CHILD STAR that i plan to enter into TROPFEST 2008 and from which i plan to create a Television series about or a series for YOU TUBE.

METRO SCREEN 2020 SUMMIT
At Open Day 2008
In April, the federal government hosted a summit with the aim of generating ideas from Australia’s greatest minds about how to move forward in the 21st century.

Metro Screen is bringing it local, focussing on the arts and asking you – some of the greatest minds of our filmmaking community – to bring your ideas and goals for Australia’s screen industry.

In Canberra, the group focussing on leading us ‘Towards a Creative Australia’ came up with a few key themes which we will be expanding on during a 1-hour panel discussion and open debate. Drawing on the wealth of experience available in the Metro community, we will discover what the recommendations mean to us; points at which we conflict or concur with the government’s summit results and ways we can participate in our rapidly progressing screen culture.

Participants will hear expert views and share their own suggestions for the future of the screen industry in Australia.

June 14th, arrive at 11am, Metro Screen.
