Explaining contradictions in film and television industry policy: ideas and incremental policy change through layering and drift

1960s

  • Australia needs identity
  • Less connection between Australia and Britain
  • Cultural nationalism
  • High ratio of Australian productions on pay TV

1980s

  • 10BA

Today

  • Free trade agreements all around
  • Lure foreign film production to Australia
  • Low ratio of Australian productions on pay TV
  • PayTV probably overtakes free-to-air TV
  • Policy embraces internationalism

Australian film and TV industry (AFTI) drifts gradually from cultural nationalism to internationalism.

“Australian film and television policy is a case of incremental change through ‘layering’ and ‘drift.'”

About the author

Woitek Konzal

Producer, Consultant, Lecturer & Researcher. I love working where technology meets media in novel ways. Once, I even won an Emmy for digital innovation doing that. Be it for a small but exciting campaign about underground electronic music collectives or for a monster project combining two movies, various 360° videos, 72 ARG-like mini puzzles, and a Unity game, all wrapped up in one cross-platform app – I have proven my ability to adapt to what is required. This passion for novel technologies has regularly allowed me to cross paths with tech startups – an industry and philosophy I am all set to engage with more. I intensely enjoy balancing out my practical work with academic research, teaching, and consulting. Also, I have a PhD in Creative Industries, a M.Sc. in Business Administration, and love to kitesurf.
