Our first DE Talk* speaker was Sohail Dahdal: an award winning filmmaker, new media artist and interactive designer. He’s been described by AFTRS as “a leading force in bridging the gap between the new forms of interactive multimedia and the traditional art of filmmaking.”
Sohail spoke about one of his recent projects: the online component of First Australians; a powerful, moving and innovative online experience that compliments the historically important documentary series screened on SBS in October 2008. If you’re interested in the process one must go through to get a large scale online production off the ground through funding bodies like SBS in Australia then the Q&A at the end will be of particular interest.
We are also looking to help Sohail and SBS spread the message that this tool is for Indigenous Australians to tell their stories. There are great features allowing the uploading and editing of stories. So get the word out. We’d also like your help in letting people know about this, all Aussies need to interact with this and learn more about this country’s past so …
Visit the web site and learn then twitter, blog, email, im chat, and tell every Australian that you know.
