The program

Greg Dee, General Manager of Channel 31, will discuss a new internet project for community television producers in Melbourne.

He will be joined by Anna Helme, Co-Founder of EngageMedia, who is collaborating with OPEN CHANNEL creating a focused community of screen practitioners as an alternative to multi-communal sites such as YouTube and MySpace. It’s about creating a space for critical documentary, fiction, artistic and experimental works that challenge the one-way communication model of the mainstream media.

Andrew Garton, Program Director of OPEN CHANNEL, will provide an overview of video distribution services that utilise flexible licenses that may pave the way for yet another revolution in citizen journalism. A sample of videos from C31, EngageMedia and citizen media sites will be screened at FRAMED #02.

FRAMED is a FREE monthly lunchtime event series presented by OPEN CHANNEL, Australian Film Television Radio School (AFTRS) and Digital Harbour.
