Senator Sarah Hanson-Young.
Labor has attacked the federal government for five and a half years of inaction over screen sector reforms while the Australian Greens have advocated a suite of measures to support the industry.
The Greens urged the government to impose a local content quota of at least 10 per cent on streaming services, harmonise the Producer Offset at 40 per cent and raise the Location Offset to 30 per cent.
The removal of the 65-hour cap for the Producer Offset, closing the New Zealand content ‘loophole,’ maintaining the existing content quota system and establishing terms of trade between broadcasters and producers were among the Greens’ proposals – all policies advocated by Screen Producers Australia.
Labor Senators accused the government of failing to articulate an agenda or vision for the Australian screen and music sectors and of cutting funding for public broadcasting by about $500 million.

Dylan River in ‘Tales by Light’.
When Tales By Light director/producer Abraham Joffe first got in contact with Indigenous director and cinematographer Dylan River to ask if he would be involved with the show, River initially thought he wanted him to shoot it.
However, the Tales By Light team wanted River in front of the camera; he is the subject of one of the episodes of season three, which launched on Netflix Australia this week after a run on Network 10 last year.
Tales By Light, backed by Canon Australia, profiles photographers. In addition to River, season three includes Simon Lister, who goes to Dhaka, Bangladesh with Unicef Goodwill Ambassador Orlando Bloom to capture the lives of children residing in slums, and conservationist Shawn Heinrichs who travels to Mexico and Indonesia to share footage of human impact on marine life in our oceans.

Unicef Goodwill Ambassador Orlando Bloom stars in an emotional episode of Tales by Light to highlight the plight of children living and working in slums in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Orlando Bloom meets children working in Bangladesh slums in powerful installment of photography series
To kick off the series’ third season – which will stream globally on Netflix from 21 December – Bloom travelled with photographer Simon Lister to Bangladesh to meet some of the country’s most vulnerable children.
“I met very young children scavenging on floating rubbish dumps and polishing metal bowls in extremely unsafe factories in order to survive,” said Orlando Bloom. “Not only are these children in danger of injury or exploitation, they are missing out on going to school and the chance of a brighter future. For so many children this is a normal way of life, but what I saw is not a childhood.”

Even though Netflix has started to cancel its underperforming series in earnest, that doesn’t mean it lacks for programming. In fact, its slate of offerings is fuller than ever, which makes it difficult for viewers to choose when faced with an embarrassment of bingeable riches.
Netflix’s foreign series, however, rarely get promotion amidst all of the other American shows that have been produced. Although IndieWire has previously provided handy lists of foreign-language series a couple of times, including other imports, that is only a hint of all offerings available.

1. “Dear White People” Season 1 (available April 28)
Why Should I Watch It? “Dear White People” is based on Justin Simien’s 2014 Sundance sensation of the same name, pulling characters and plot lines from the satirical comedy that helped introduce us to the glory that is Tessa Thompson. While the “Creed” star won’t be returning, other breakouts from the film are, and the core story — of a predominantly white Ivy League university facing a heated racial debate after a misguided blackface Halloween party — has been refined to fit a serialized format. It is hilarious, sharp, and so timely it hurts. Don’t miss it.
Best Episode: We caught the first two at SXSW, and though both are absolutely stellar, I’ve got to give the edge to the pilot. Logan Browning, as a radio personality who hosts a show titled “Dear White People,” gives a finely layered turn and the general...
