| Introduction | Twitter: @lyndenbarber I am a Sydney-based freelance journalist specialising in film and music; a curator for the National Film and Sound Archive website, Australian Screen Online; and lecturer in screen studies at Sydney Film School. My professional journalism appears in The Australian, The Guardian, Limelight magazine and Lumina (journal of AFTRS - the Australian Film, Television and Radio School). My writing also appears on-line at SBS TV's film website and Goethe-Institut's Australian website, and has appeared in The Drum at the ABC site and at New Matilda. In 2005 and 06 I served as Artistic Director of the Sydney Film Festival, "attracting good crowds to a well-received program" (Sydney Morning Herald) and achieving "a good critical wrap" (Variety). Before this I was the staff film writer at daily broadsheet The Australian for a decade & before that staff film critic at The Sydney Morning Herald. Born in the UK, I moved to Australia in 1985. My work has also been published in Melody Maker, NME, Meanjin and Rolling Stone (Australia) among other publications. |
