Screen Futures Summit
Industry — Innovation — Education
9 - 12 JULY 2011
MELBOURNE CBD
ACMI - Capitol Cinema - Melbourne Town Hall - RMIT University
The media have gone through more changes in the last decade than in the previous 100 years. So what does the future hold? Media consumers are now media producers as millions upload their own videos, and homemade viral sensations compete with the latest hit from Hollywood.
Websites such as YouTube serve millions of videos per day. Copyright has become difficult to enforce when any film or television show can be downloaded for free faster than it can be legitimately purchased. Mobile devices such as smartphones and iPads have created a new visual medium.
Young people use their computers more than they watch television, and video games are a bigger industry than feature films.
Screen Futures provides a unique opportunity to discuss, debate and adapt to the new media landscape.
Each of the two strands of the Summit will feature a number of local and international guests.
Our first confirmed international guest is David Buckingham.
London-based David Buckingham's research focuses on media education, as well as children’s and young people’s interactions with electronic media. He has recently completed research projects on everyday uses of video production technology, the uses of digital media by migrant/refugee children across Europe and young people’s responses to sexual content in the media. He is currently working on two major projects: one on the role of the internet in promoting young people’s civic participation, and the other on learning and progression in media education. (Confirmed)
The two strands of Screen Futures Summit
Strand 1: Screen Worlds
If ever there was a distinction between creators and consumers, it has been irrevocably blurred. The roles of those who traditionally filled and mediated that gap – educators, critics, publishers – are dramatically changing. Now that everybody ‘creates their own story’, where does that leave the traditional creators? As films and television shows become games, games become films, and audiences become splintered across the multiple screen landscape, what will happen to film and television? And what of the beleaguered notion of copyright? This summit will address the changes and the challenges presented by the new global media landscape.

Strand 2: Screen Education
Media is now one of five disciplines within the Arts that will be part of the Australian national curriculum from Kindergarten to Year 12. This national curriculum will be launched in 2011 with implementation scheduled for 2012, which has enormous implications for media educators from pre-school to tertiary. The Screen Futures Summit will provide a forum for dialogue between all sectors of the education landscape – in response not only to the national curriculum, but also to the increasing demands for media education and media educators at all levels.
