Filmmaker Daniel King has been named the inaugural recipient of the Indigenous Documentary Placement, a new initiative co-presented by the ABC, Northern Pictures and the Australian Documentary Conference.
Daniel, a descendent of the Yuin and Awabakal nations, will develop his skills in documentary, factual development and production through an eight-month placement with the ABC and Northern Pictures from late May.
Daniel is a documentary filmmaker, cinematographer and editor who, for more than a decade, has focused on telling the stories of First Nations peoples. He directed the 2020 feature-length documentary
Trading Cultures, screened on NITV / SBS, which traced the collaboration between three Indigenous Australian artists and three artists from Makassar in South Sulawesi.

“Powerfully peels back the insidious nature of domestic violence. A timely look at an issue ravaging the nation.”
– The West Australian
“An eye-opening series on the horrors of domestic abuse and coercive control. See What You Made Me Do should be compulsory viewing if we are to have any chance of eradicating this insidious and pervasive disease hiding in plain sight.” – The Daily Telegraph
On average, one woman a week is killed by a current or former partner in Australia and most Australians who experience domestic abuse will never report it and their abusers will never be called to account .
