Australian International Documentary Conference 2024

TV & Film

For this Out Takes, we took a deep dive with some very special guests in to the return of the premier event for nonfiction screen content in the Southern Hemisphere. This year’s Australian International Documentary Conference a.k.a. the AIDC, is back in Melbourne this March, welcoming industry players from across the globe to drive collaboration, development, and production and to inspire innovation and ignite social change.

First up, we featured a beautiful documentary that is garnering well deserved praise and accolades around the world including being the first ever film to win the Silver Bear Jury Prize (Short Film) and the Teddy Award for best queer short film at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival. ‘Marungka Tjalatjunu’, which translates in to Dipped in Black, tells the story of Yankunytjatjara man Derik Lynch who leaves behind the oppression of white city life in Adelaide and embarks on a road trip back to Country for spiritual healing, as memories from his childhood return. Both Derik and his co-director / collaborator Matthew Thorne joined us to discuss the film and share their story with us. We were also delighted to be joined by Natasha Gadd, the creative director and CEO of the Australian International Documentary Conference, who gave us the full scoop on this year’s program, guest speakers, special screenings and more.
