| Summary |
*Coarse Language*Five emerging filmmakers are giving an OPENING SHOT. Five filmmaking teams, all with a director under 35 years old, have been given the opportunity to create a prime time half hour film that not only develops their filmmaking skills, but also fires an (opening) shot in to the national conversation about Australia today. From the moral minefield of modern reproductive science to online hacktivism, these films share the voice of a generation tackling the issues that are important to them, and that have consequences for all of us. What they collectively demonstrate is that while today's younger generations may be disengaged from traditional party politics they are not disengaged from the issues that matter. Are you ready to give them a shot? On the frontline of a cyber war, masked vigilantes known as 'Anonymous' fight for internet freedom. The media has called them 'hackers on steroids' and an 'internet hate machine'. 'Anonymous' has hacked, blocked and defaced some of the world's most 'secure' sites and exposed them to the world in an effort to highlight freedom of information breaches on the internet. Future Radicals offers a rare insight into 'Anonymous' and the activities that have secured it some of the world's most powerful enemies through interviews with those involved. Arrests have occurred around the globe, but are they criminals or cyber heroes? You decide.PRODUCTION DETAILS: Future Radicals is a Renegade Films (Australia) production. It was financed with the assistance of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Screen Australia. Director/ Writer: Ben Eriksen. Producer/ Director/ Writer: Kate Pappas. OPENING SHOT is an initiative between Screen Australia and ABC Television that gives voice to a new generation of filmmakers - with stories to match. ABC Commissioning Editor: Alan Erson; ABC Development of OPENING SHOT: Edwina Waddy (30 mins) |
