AFTRS to study its graduates and their careers
The Australian Film Television and Radio School has commissioned the Ipsos-Eureka Social Research Institute to conduct a study about the work and careers of the almost 20,000 students who have graduated from it.
“This study will offer a unique perspective on screen content careers in Australia. Overlaid with economic and financial data over the 40 year period, this research will provide us all with invaluable insights into the sector,” said CEO Sandra Levy.
The confidential individual interviews will be conducted in person, by phone and online, and will include as many graduates as AFTRS can locate. The study will begin in April and the results will be published in early 2012.
“The School started life in the early days of the so-called renaissance of the Australian film industry and it has been at or near the centre of the industry ever since. Its graduates have worked all over the world and in every kind of production job. They are an amazing source of insights about creative careers,” added Levy.

Fantastic…maybe another study of equal importance were all those that were knocked back from the holy pearly gates cinema knowledge.

In referring to ‘screen content careers’ it seems the school completely disregards their radio department, which has had a big impact on its respective industry.
Nice to know some things haven’t changed since I went there.

I don’t know about you, but this immediately reminded me of:
DONALD KAUFMAN
Now the killer cuts off body pieces
and makes the victims eat them.
It’s, like, I once saw this picture
of a snake swallowing it’s tail —
Charlie Kaufman collapses, puts his head in his hands.
CHARLIE KAUFMAN
Ourobouros.
DONALD
I don’t know what that means.
CHARLIE
The snake is called Ourobouros.
DONALD
I don’t think so. But it’s cool for my
killer to have this modus operandi.
Because at the end when he forces the
woman, who’s really just him, to eat
herself, he’s also eating himself to
death.

Bureaucratic smoke & mirrors excercise ensuring corporate trough is topped up in next budget. Old adage about inquiries & findings?
But then what else do you expect from publicly funded accademics who see nothing wrong in continually training people (mostly young) for jobs in an industry (film) that doesn’t – (barely) exists?
