On Wednesday night I attended the Film Victoria Digital Media Fund briefing on the recent MILIA World Interactive Content Forum which was held in France. The briefing was held at The Westin Melbourne - very swanky 
MILIA is a huge annual event that started out as a primarily ‘multimedia’ industry conference and has, since last year, merged with another even larger television industry conference. The speakers at the briefing who attended MILIA were Amelia King, Nell White, Rosie Allimonos, and Brian Buchanan.
Amelia King is the manager of the Digital Media Fund.
Nell White is a film & television producer who has moved into new media productions such as A Year on the Wing - an online documentary for the ABC. For more info on the project see the press kit .
Rosie Allimonos is the producer of the excellent ABC Online works Winged Sandals and The Space: Tour Of Duty. For more information on Winged Sandals see Rosie’s informative background information and a review of the project by Barista. Rosie is also the president of Experimenta, a “new media arts, film, video, sound and performance” organsiation that produces events such as The House of Tomorrow which is currently touring Australia (and which I managed to miss when it was in Melbourne - oops).
Brian Buchanan is a journalist who works for News Interactive, editing [former editor of] news.com.au. His reports from MILIA were published in The Australian IT section and onlineFrom TV screen to any screen (April 1, 2004) Movies-on-the-move in mobile world (April 6, 2004). For background information on the history of news.com.au see this interview with Brian published on www.journalism.co.uk: News Ltd head reveals secret of online success.
