Adelaide fest: Investing in people, not projects
BigPond Adelaide Film Festival director Katrina Sedgwick spoke with Encore about the recently finised edition of the biannual event- including the projects supported by the festival’s fund: Mrs. Carey’s Concert, Snowtown, Here I Am and Hail.
Sedgwick told Encore why she chooses to support talented individuals instead of specific projects, helping them develop their careers even if it means taking a financial risk.
The festival director also discussed the new Hive Fund (recently launched in conjunction with the ABC), the 2013 festival slate, and the regional expansion of the Adelaide Film Festival.
Miss Sedgwick….I salute you..what brilliant creative vision…keep blazing that path

Perhaps these promising artist types can be politely asked to finance their own films and leave funding for those with commercial sensibilities. Then, maybe one day, if some money actually flows back the other way, funding can be set aside to finance unemployable visionaries.
