Doc Society and the Australian International Documentary Conference (Aidc) have revealed the six projects that will take part in a year-long creative mentorship and impact strategy fellowship starting this month.
The four feature documentaries and two VR concepts selected for the Art & Impact Fellowship consist of Jaydn Ray Gosselin and Elahe Zivardar’s Searching for Aramsayesh Gah; Josie Hess’ Life After Coal; Genevieve Grieves and Ryan Andrew Lee’s Dreaming Country; Taryne Laffar’s Sacred Sites; Maya Newell’s The Quickening; and Matthew Bate’s Untitled Hakeem Project.

Documentaries are known for their potential to affect social change, but at what point does a cause begin to dictate the way a story is told?
The place of impact producing in factual content was referenced at multiple points throughout this week’s Australian International Documentary Conference (Aidc), most notably as part of a session entitled ‘Is Impact Still Relevant?’.
The reflective discussion brought together Engage Media co-founder and executive director Andrew Lowenthal, with Hollie Fifer, director of the investigative documentary The Opposition.
At the centre of their conversation was the role of ‘impact’ as an advocacy tool and its influence on the filmmaking process.
Lowenthal’s company is in the midst of exploring the concept with filmmakers across the Asia Pacific as part of an Impact Lab for environmental video initiatives.
He said while still relevant, the genre had been around long enough to allow a discussion about where it can fall short.

The just-announced lineup is packed with star power, controversies, and a particularly strong Australian contingent. Here are our picks
Landing at that time of the year when summer is still vivid in the memory but beautiful days are increasingly scarce, the Sydney film festival once again promises to further deplete the vitamin D intake of the city’s cinephiles. With 288 films in total, there are more things to do than you will ever be able to cram into your schedule – including a particularly strong line-up of homemade films.
Many Australian titles in the program did not make this list, because there were simply so many to choose from. Omissions include David Wenham’s directorial debut Ellipsis, Ben C Lucas’s sci-fi film OtherLife, Hollie Fifer’s delayed documentary The Opposition, the first two episodes of the second season of Cleverman, and Sherpa director Jennifer Peedom’s new film, Mountain.

The 10th Human Rights Arts and Film Festival (Hraff) will open tomorrow night with the Australian premiere of documentary The Opposition, directed by Hollie Fifer.
The feature doc details the struggle of 3,000 residents of the Paga Hill community in Papua New Guinea, who watched helplessly as police bulldozed their homes to make way for a luxury resort.
Two community leaders volunteered to help but ended up making very different choices, and one of them, Dame Carol Kidu, would end up lodging an injunction against the film.
Fifer began researching the subject while still at Aftrs, travelling to Png in 2012 after receiving a research grant from the ABC.
.On the second day the demolition of the Paga Hill community happened, and it was quite clear that this was the story,. recalls Fifer, who would travel to Png seven times over the next four years.

The Supreme Court of New South Wales has dismissed the claim by former Png politician Dame Carol Kidu for a permanent injunction to prevent the screening of Media Stockade and Beacon Films' investigative documentary The Opposition..

Her legal case was supported by the Paga Hill Development Company (Phdc)..
