WIFT VIRTUAL is an initiative created and produced by WIFT AUSTRALIA, created out of necessity during the Covid-19 lock-downs. It offers a series of virtual sessions where the screen industry community can continue to gain knowledge and stay connected.
This session is open to all. To members and non-members.
Virtual WIFT continues with a set of four webinar sessions “Focusing on excellence in craft“.
The second episode is with legendary editor Jill Bilcock AC, ASE, ACE and to be moderated by Jill’s former assistant editor, Hayley Miro Browne. This episode is a collaboration with Screen Queensland, ASE and Avid. Free for all members, and open to the rest on donation.
Avid is contributing with one license free software product to one lucky WIFT Australia member.
