Snowtown team to discuss making of the film at Mumbrella360

Snowtown posterThe ABC’s head of arts Katrina Sedgwick and the team behind the award-winning Australian film Snowtown are to appear at Mumbrella360 to talk about the making of the controversial film.

Prior to her new role at the ABC, Sedgwick was director of the Adelaide Film Festival which backed the award-winning film through its investment fund.

Also joining Sedgwick are Sarah Shaw and Anna McLeish from Warp Films Australia, who produced the controversial film. They will be joined by Allison Meadows, senior casting director, Mullinars Casting Consultants.

Snowtown tells the story of Adelaides bodies in barrels murders. Unusually, the casting included a large number of local people who had not acted previously.   

While the film was controversial because of its dark content, it has won several awards including best direction in the Australian Film Institute’s AACTA Awards.

The session will be moderated by Mumbrella managing editor Brooke Hemphill

Mumbrella360 takes place on June 6 and 7. More details and tickets are available on the Mumbrella360 website.
