AIDC shifts to State Library Victoria

The Australian International Documentary Conference will be held at the State Library Victoria while ACMI undergoes renovation.

AIDC 2020 will take place 1 – 4 March 2020 as a four-day international marketplace and conference program for documentary, factual and unscripted storytellers from Australia, the Asia-Pacific and beyond.

AIDC CEO & Conference Director Alice Burgin said,  “This new relationship between AIDC and one of Victoria’s most beloved and respected institutions is really exciting. With its stunning new look, state-of-the-art technology, and ongoing commitment to the democratic values of public access and knowledge that are so aligned with our sector, being hosted at State Library Victoria ensures that AIDC will uphold its reputation as Australia’s centrepiece event in the non-fiction calendar.”

State Library Victoria Acting CEO, Jo Ritale, said, “As a library, we are passionate about storytelling in all its forms. With the opening of our reimagined Library later this year, AIDC delegates will be invited to enjoy our transformed spaces and experience the event in a library designed for the future. We are also thrilled that our events partner, Showtime Event Group will work with AIDC to deliver a world-class conference.”
