As our screen industry moves from a culture of protectionism to fully-fledged commercial viability, what we need more than ever is a rigorous examination of the artistic and corporate concepts that currently define our work. LUMINA, the biannual journal of AFTRS, is dedicated to a challenging discourse on the issues of most significance to the Australian screen arts and broadcast sector. With essays, interviews and reflections from the industry’s leading thinkers and practitioners, LUMINA offers a space for writers to explore ideas and share insights for the path ahead.
