Film and television industry hearings continue

THE House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications and the Arts will conduct public hearings in Katoomba and Brisbane next week as part of its inquiry into factors contributing to the growth and sustainability of Australia’s film and television industry.

The Chair of the committee, Luke Howarth MP, stated that ‘the Committee is looking forward to hearing perspectives from industry participants from the greater Blue Mountains area, where the creative industries are a significant employer.’

"The film and television industry also makes an important contribution to culture and the economy in Queensland, where the Committee will hear from Screen Queensland and others," Mr Howarth said.

Public hearings will take place in Sydney and Melbourne later this month.
