Digital Harbour Newsletter: September 2007










Minister opens VicTrack's new offices at Digital Harbour
VicTrack's new Docklands offices were officially opened by the Minister for
Public Transport and the Arts, Lynne Kosky MP, on 2nd August. VicTrack Chair
Elana Rubin, fellow Board members and staff joined the Minister and guests in
the official opening ceremony followed by morning tea. Elena described the new
offices as a new start for the organisation and a far cry from the poky and
dated premises in Collins Street. In thanking the Minister for her attendance,
she also noted that the office move represented a significant vote of confidence
in VicTrack by the Government. Minister Kosky thanked VicTrack staff for their
commitment and work, particularly in assisting the State Governments $33 million
package in improving level crossing safety throughout Victoria. She also gave
credit to the interior designers and project managers and VicTrack's in-house
project management team and staff committee.

Framed #08: Poetry In Cinema - The Secrets of Writing Your Film
Thursday 27 September: 12.30-1.30pm
Filmmaker, writer and scholar Ian Dixon shows how to 'Put your self in your
film'. There are many forums and books available to screenplay writers - but so
many concentrate on genre and structure. These are important elements but a
writer needs to find their own self in the film form. The essential ingredient
is one's own unique take on the world, one's own 'Weltanschauung'. Good writing
emanates from the personal core, then finds its appropriate form. As Dr Freud
said: "before the problem of the creative artist, psychoanalysis must lay down
its arms."
