Festival Description:

The Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) is the pre-eminent industry gathering for factual content creators, broadcasters and screen agencies.

The Australian International Documentary Conference is an extended international Market Place for broadcast programs, a discussion platform for industry practices and a showcase of content excellence. The Australian International Documentary Conference spotlights industry trends in production and technology while hosting an international event that aims to close the gap between the independent an the broadcast sectors.

Internationally renowned, AIDC attracts delegates and speakers from around Australia and overseas.

The conference offers the full range of participants in the factual film and broadcasting industry the opportunity to meet, network and be exposed to industry best practice from Australia and overseas. In addition, masterclasses and forums raise and explore current challenges and showcase work.

In 2009 Adelaide will play host to this intensive three-day event which will see upward of 600 national and international delegates converge on the city.

The 2009 Theme Who’s Watching?, will swing the spotlight onto the role of the audience, with various sessions, masterclasses and discussion panels investigating the questions of who, how, when and where factual media content is consumed.

The 2009 program has two additional themed program strands:

• The Art and Craft of Documentary Making
• Serious Gaming and Interactive Content

Taking place at the Hilton Adelaide, the conference will be supported by state of the art facilities and technical support.

AIDC provide extensive market opportunities through pitch competitions and other market place initiatives.
