The aim of the Screenwriting Research Network 2017 Conference is to consolidate our growing global screenwriting research network while, at the same time, providing a forum to investigate screenwriting praxis as a trans/national phenomenon. This aim thus builds on the important work done at the 2015 Chilean conference, and will be based around similar themes.
Planned keynote speakers may include Rachel Lang (writer on TV shows such as Outrageous Fortune, Go Girls, and The Almighty Johnsons), Himiona Grace (writer/director of The Pā Boys) and Briar Grace-Smith (writer of the film, The Strength of Water).
