In Conversation with Kate Woods

Presented by RMIT’s School of Media & Communication in partnership with the Australian Directors Guild (ADG) & Women in Film and Television, Victoria (WIFT Vic).

Join us for an exclusive ‘In Conversation’ with acclaimed director Kate Woods, whose career spans decades of powerful storytelling across Australia and the U.S. Her debut feature Looking for Alibrandi celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, and her new film Kangaroo premieres in cinemas this September.

From directing The Lincoln Lawyer, The Umbrella Academy, and The Good Lord Bird, to beloved Australian series like Changi, Farscape, and Wildside, Kate will share insights into her creative process, navigating international screen industries, and her return to feature filmmaking with Kangaroo—a heart-warming outback adventure with big laughs and big heart.

This conversation will be moderated by Mark Poole, Chair of ADG Victoria, filmmaker and screenwriter.

All directors, filmmakers, students, screen professionals, and film lovers are welcome.
