A UNIQUE BREW One of the things that gives our ales and stout that unique Coopers flavour and appearance is a process called natural conditioning. To achieve this we add a small amount of live yeast to our beer just before bottling or kegging. This causes secondary fermentation in the bottle or keg which carbonates the beer and eliminates the need for any preservatives or additives.

How do you approach the development of a festival program – what do you look for in applications? What’s the significance of festivals in sustaining folk music here in Australia? What makes for a successful festival?

Content being used in the consumer space provides rights owners with a valuable income source, and is now starting to return revenue back to the artist and rights owner communities in proportions that haven’t been seen since the rise of peer to peer platforms. The next new frontier is tracking how content is used in public performance spaces and how technology and innovation is creating new opportunities to support collection agencies to improve transparency and accurate royalty payments. Come and learn about this growing opportunity in this session presented by Stuart Watters of Nightlife Music.

WHY NOT LATIN AMERICA? - Q&A Friday November 3rd | 10:00am - 11:00am | GU FILMHOUSE CINEMA 6 MODERATOR:
SYLVIA ZAMBRANO PARRA
Have you considered taking your music, artist or project to Latin America? Latin America is currently a market in boom. In 2015 it was the region with the most rapid digital growth in the world and during the same year sales from recorded music grew 11.8% making it the fastest growing region in the world for the fifth consecutive year (IFPI). Nevertheless, Latin America remains a relatively untapped market for Australian artists. Despite some similarities throughout the region, each country is independent from and different to the others. Accordingly, for the commercialisation of an artist each country has different rules, advantages and disadvantages that must be understood by a manager, promoter or artist before thinking of entering the market there. This presentation will offer an overview of the state of the music market in Latin America and valuable insights into the industries of various countries in the region including tips for how you can reach a new audience on the other side of the world!

The road of the self-managed artist has never been easy - balancing the creative with the business side, promoting yourself, acquiring the knowledge and contacts that help you get where you need to go. In this session we discuss the ins-and-outs of managing your own career and how this can grow into working with other artists in a behind-the-scenes role.
Australian Made was a festival concert series held during 1986–1987 in the six state capitals of Australia and featured local rock acts Mental as Anything, I’m Talking, The Triffids, The Saints, Divinyls, Models, Jimmy Barnes and INXS. The series started in Hobart on 26 December 1986 and concluded in Sydney (Endeavour Field - Cronulla) on 26 January 1987. Rock journalist Jeff Jenkins rated it as one of his 50 most significant events in Australian music history, “It showed that an all-Australian festival could work.” Australian Made was conceived to counter tours of international acts, like Dire Straits’ 1985–1986 world tour, which were drying up funds for Australian groups. To promote the tour, INXS and Barnes recorded a cover of The Easybeats song “Good Times” which was released in December 1986 as a single and used as the theme song. “Good Times” peaked at #2 on the Australian charts. The single peaked at #47 in the United States Billboard Hot 100 on 1 August 1987. Arguments ensued between various band managers over the filming of the tour which ended in acrimony with two managers, Chris Murphy (for INXS) and Jeremy Fabinyi (for Mental As Anything), arguing backstage in Sydney and coming to blows. The film of the tour, Australian Made: The Movie, directed by Richard Lowenstein, was released in July 1987, but contained no footage of Mental As Anything performing.

We hope you enjoy this year’s collection of films, and look forward to seeing you at the cinema! —
