The inaugural Australia & New Zealand Festival of Literature & Arts opens tonight in central London with a conversation with celebrated Australian author Tim Winton, ahead of an action-packed weekend of talks, debates, readings, performances and screenings taking place at the Strand campus of King’s College London.
Timed to coincide with the start of the Royal Academy’s major exhibition Australia (21 September – 8 December), the British Film Institute on London’s Southbank is staging Australia: Shifting Sands, a film season exploring ‘the most significant shift in Australian cinema in the last two decades: the emergence of Indigenous filmmaking’.
