Because Words Matter

Anna Broinowski

Anna Broinowski is a filmmaker and writer who documents counter-cultural subjects. Her most recent non-fiction book, Datsun Angel: A True-Story Adventure Inside the Savage Heart of 1980s Australia, was published in March this year. Anna's globally screened films include Hell Bento!! (about Japanese subcultures), Forbidden Lie$ (about hoax-author Norma Khouri), Helen's War (about anti-nuclear crusader Dr Helen Caldicott) and Aim High In Creation! (about North Korean cinema). She has won a Walkley and other gongs but Anna's favourite is the Moscow Film Critic's prize, a carved elephant with a hole in its back for burning bad reviews. A senior lecturer at Sydney University, Anna researches propaganda and deepfakes. Her previous books are Please Explain: The Rise, Fall and Rise Again of Pauline Hanson and The Director is the Commander.


 

The Berry Writers Festival acknowledges the Dharawal and Dhurga language-speaking groups who are traditional owners of this area. We acknowledge their customs and culture, which have nourished, and continue to nourish, this land. And we extend our respects to Elders, past, present, and future.
