The inaugural Screen Futures Summit begins this Saturday 9 to Tuesday 12 July.
The four day summit is designed primarily for industry professionals and educators to explore the rapidly changing media environment as online advancements shift the way film, television, video games and publishing are produced and distributed, and how this impacts the education sector.
Summit Chair Sue Turnbull said in a statement, “Once we announced the theme, we received more than 100 proposals from academics, researchers, teachers and industry professionals interested in hosting sessions. It’s clear that this is a critical topic for those in the education and media sectors.”
The Summit includes a wide range of international speakers:
Alfred Hermida, who worked as a BBC journalist for 15 years and first launched BBC’s news website in 1997.
David Buckingham, a UK academic who has studied extensively the way children interact with digital media, including young people’s responses to sexual content in the media.

And humour is one of the cornerstones of all good Doctor Who. Think of some of the most popular Doctors - Tom Baker, Patrick Troughton, David Tennant - their Doctors are known for quirky humour. A good chunk of the show's stories contain several killer funny lines that could slot comfortably in any comedy show.
Mind you, when we think of humour in Doctor Who, the 5th Doctor and Christopher Hamilton Bidmead are not the first names to leap off the tongue. Peter Davison himself is the king of the DVD commentary, always chipping in with a sly wisecrack about any aspect of the story, but sadly he was never really allowed to display his wry humour in his tales.
