The Australian Film Television and Radio School (Aftrs) announced a series of new executive appointments today, with Dr Romaine Moreton set to lead the school’s First Nations and outreach strategy, while Con Apostolopoulos will spearhead business development.
The appointments come as the school implements a new structure that will see staff deployed over five divisions: teaching and learning; production and operations; partnerships and development; First Nations and outreach, and people and culture.
“Moving into the CEO role earlier this year has given me the opportunity to think really hard about strategy for the school and how we move forward in this rapidly changing world. How do we ensure our graduates are the best screen and broadcast graduates in the Australia; graduates who are able to make the screen and audio stories Australians need in this very complex world,...

Growing up in western Victoria, Tracey Rigney, a member of the Wotjobaluk and Ngarrindjeri peoples, rarely saw black faces on television apart from David Gulpilil and Ernie Dingo.
Today the writer-director, who started out as a playwright with Belonging and How Blak R U? in 2002, is among the screen industry’s fast-rising Indigenous storytellers.
Currently she is crafting ideas for one of eight shorts which will comprise the anthology feature Cook 2020: Our Right of Reply, jointly commissioned by Screen Australia and the New Zealand Film Commission.
When there was a call-out for applications initially she decided not to apply, given the demands on her time and energy as the mother of a two-and-a-half year-old girl.
A producer friend told her she had some good ideas and encouraged her to give it a go. “I applied not thinking I would get anywhere,” she tells If.
