2018 AUSTRALIAN MUSIC WEEK
Directors’ Welcome Hello and welcome to the 2018 instalment of Australian Music Week! This year 100+ artists will strut their stuff for assembled business heads and music fans, and we’ve built on 2017 to explore new genre focusses - with showcases for heavy music, Hip Hop, and Americana featuring this year. Made in Canada highlights six amazing artists who have made the trip down under, and we’re stoked to be able to announce partnerships with Zandari Festa, Focus Wales, Folk Alliance International, and Americana Music Association for 2019. The Australian Music Week Film Festival flies into its second year with two big days and nights of diverse music-centric films from all over the globe. We’d like to say a big ‘thank you’ to the artists who give us a reason to be here, to the speakers and delegates who share their knowledge and insight, and to the crew, volunteers, venues and people of Cronulla who make it possible, and thanks to our partners for their continued support and encouragement. Australian Music Week Directors — Geoff Trio, Jon Howell, Scott Mesiti, Jad Nakhle and Richard Buck

AUSTRALIAN MUSIC WEEK 2018
Welcome
to the 2nd annual Australian Music Week Film Festival. This year, through a diverse selection of international features and short films, we are excited to present a program that tackles the lock out laws in Sydney (Turn it Up), how Aussie bands like Karnivool have played their role in India’s growing rock scene, the power of music and culture in a country as far away as Burkina Faso (in the UNESCO award winning Burkinabe Rising), and much, much more. This year’s program is all about our universal love of music, and through these 13 films we hope you’ll leave the cinema reminded why music is not just something that needs to be celebrated, but something that needs to be protected, too. See you in the cinema! —

Turn It Up! Finding Sydney’s Sound - 60 Minutes
It’s food for the soul, and a vitally important part of our culture. The live music scene in Sydney has seen some amazing artists get their break and establish successful careers, but over the years the scene has taken a big hit. Venues have been closing across the city, and our culture has been irrevocably altered. So what does the live music scene in Sydney look like today, where do artists go to perform, or is the Sydney scene dead? Featuring appearances from the likes of Abby Dobson (Leonardo’s Bride), Ian Moss (Cold Chisel), Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore, Dave Faulkner (Hoodoo Gurus), Flight Facilities, Alison Avron of Sydney venue The Newsagency, Hannah Crofts (All Our Exes Live In Texas), Lindsay McDougall (Franzal Rhomb), Tex Perkins, Trish & Jodi (The Clouds) and many, many more, Turn it Up takes a look at Sydney’s sound then and now.
