In anticipation for the official film festival beginning on September 8th 2016, SLAFF is proud to present Cine Lounge: a month long series of Latin American film and culture sessions held at the funky 107 projects in Redfern starting from Friday the 29th of July. Featuring an amazing line-up of traditional and contemporary Latin influences in music, dance and film, these much loved sessions embrace SLAFF’s belief that cinema is an immersive cultural experience for all.

Their opening session on Friday the 29th of July will open with the haunting, Kafka-esque Chilean featiure I am not Lorena.

The evening will feature a mix of traditional and contemporary Latin American soundscapes by recently returned Chilean favourite, producer and musician, Pato Lara. There will also be a selection of flavoursome Chilean bites and empanadas to enjoy throughout the evening.

Specific details for first screening below:

Graduating students, this could be great for you!

Full time work as a production coordinator/junior producer

Description:

Looking for an outgoing, can-do media graduate or similar for our post production studios.

This is a supporting role to the producers, which involves hands-on experience across a broad range of production areas. Definitely a good slab of admin duties involved plus on-the-job training in video editing, motion graphics, audio production and everything in-between.

You’ll already know a lot about video and audio production in both broadcast and online platforms, with a solid understanding of file formats,codecs, TV, radio and online standards. Preferably you’ll also have skills with editing software, Photoshop and AfterFX.

You’ll be very computer savvy with PC & MAC platforms, quick at learning new programs and not afraid to get your hands dirty.

You’ll also have a keen creative eye and a burning desire to become a producer in the real world.

APPLICATIONS CLOSE JUNE 30, 2016

– Styling Volunteers – must have an interest in interiors, an eye for detail and a current drivers license.

– Front of House Volunteers – must be obscenely friendly, have some kind of customer service experience and ideally an RSA.

All volunteers will get to sit in on the un-conference programming for free and rub shoulders with super impressive creative women.

Apply:
