PRODUCTION WORKSHOPS & INFORMATION SESSIONS

THURSDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER

Festival Launch Party

Your official welcome to five days of festival joy. Join us for canapés
and vino, Electrofringe’s 10th birthday cake, a juicy panel discussion
on going your own way as an artist in Australia, a performance
culminating from the all-day Newspeak collaboration, erotic readings,
and a Newie flavoured nightcap of dark DNB. How could you miss it?

TINA Opening Panel

DIY Do or Die

18:30- 20:00
Festival Club

Making ends meet as an artist in Australia can seem like an impossible
task. Centrelink and “day jobs” drain your will to live, while
non-commercial art don’t make you rich. Are we doomed to either burn out
– or sell out? Surely there’s a way to retain your artistic integrity,
and get paid for it …

Featuring: Lou Smith, Tiani Chilleni, Will Jarrat (Wire MC). Facilitated By: Julian Knowles

SOUND SUMMIT PRESENTS A SCREENING OF: "Good Copy, Bad Copy"

TPI House - Auditorium
15.00 - 16.00pm

Introduced by: Millie Millgate (Creative Director. MusicNSW)

Good Copy, Bad Copy, is a stunning Danish documentary on remix culture and copyright. The film skips around the world, showing the changing attitudes toward art and culture in Nigeria, Sweden, Brazil, the UK, and the US, answering statements about incentives and creativity by the MPAA and IFPI by showing us real artists (like Danger Mouse and Girl Talk) making wonderful art that, according to the gangsters in the entertainment industry, no one will make without copyright.

The movie has a very light touch, and a lot of humor. This has been a banner year for copyright documentaries, but this is the best looking of the lot, with superb production values. This is a masterclass on the copyright wars crammed into 58 minutes of video -- a must-see!

SOUND SUMMIT PRESENTS: Localize It!

TPI House - Auditorium
15.00 - 17.00pm

Discussion about the Doco "Good Copy, Bad Copy" and its relevance to Australia, our artists and the industry's copyrights management.

Facilitated By: Millie Millgate
