Want to flex that podcasting muscle over the summer break?

All The Best is a storytelling podcast and broadcast show on SYN Media, 3RRR and FBi Radio. We’re looking for contributors for our upcoming summer season. Over eight weeks, you’ll get to make a story of any length with supervising producers by your side. We’ll kick off with a Pitch Workshop on Monday 5th November from 6pm at SYN (16 Cardigan St, Carlton), so bring along any story ideas and/or your enthusiasm.

Head over to our Facebook event for more details.

See you there!

Student Success: The Gnomologists in Byron Bay!

Dan student news, student success , ,

Congrats to second-year Media student Tristan Winter, whose film The Gnomologists has been selected for screening at the Byron Bay International Film Festival!

Tristan sent through this synopsis:

The locals of Gnomesville, Western Australia share the history and the conflicts they’ve faced with the ever-growing population of Gnomes.

Shot over 2 days, and edited over 7 months, I really wanted to create awareness of Gnomesville because there was a giant flood that went through there this year and washed away a lot of the Gnomes in the main section. So hopefully this film will inspire people to go to Gnomesville with a Gnome in hand and help the Gnomes rebuild what they’ve lost. #prayforgnomesville

The Gnomologists was produced as part of the Documentary as Action studio in 2017.

Study Tour opportunity – Chicago/New York

Dan opportunities , , , ,

Check out this Study Tour opportunity, passed on by our friends in Photography:

The Chicago – New York Photography Tour provides students with an exciting alternative to traditional classroom based learning. It offers students with first hand experience of the shaping of knowledge through experience of the cultural, historical and contemporary aspects of art and photographic practice in the United States.

The course aims to develop student’s self-awareness and the ability to think critically about what they are experiencing and to keep effective written journals and visual diaries that are later sourced for writing an essay on their experience. Whilst in Chicago & New York, the tour will visit a number of major museums, contemporary galleries, artist’s studios and connect with working photographers to gain an understanding of both art and commercial areas. In Rocherster the tour will focus on the legacy and history of Kodak. Visits will include the Eastman Museum & the Rochester Contemporary Art Center

More details at this page.

Note that you cannot do this tour if you’re enrolled in our Flex studio, as the times overlap. But if you’re able and interested, the Tour would count for a 12 credit point University Elective.
