On 16th and 17th October at FOXTEL Television Centre in North Ryde, 2009 SPAA Fringe will gather Australia's top film industry professionals and rising talent to share their experiences and expertise, offering insight and creative direction for up-and-coming filmmakers seeking lasting careers in the screen industry.

Already, the line-up is shaping up to be bigger and better than last year and speakers to date include Kath Shelper, Producer of Samson & Delilah; the team behind the first Australian Muslim comedy series Salam Cafe; Dario Russo, creator of the hilarious viral Italian Spiderman; and filmmaker and new media auteur Nicholas Carlton who created Australia's first social web series, OzGirl.

The program features Kath Shelper, Producer of the award-winning indigenous feature film Samson & Delilah. Samson & Delilah premiered at the Adelaide Film Festival winning the Audience Award and then went on to win the Camera d'Or for best first feature at the Cannes Film Festival.

In television we will meet the team behind Salam Cafe, a comedy-panel series looking at the funny side of life as an Australian Muslim. SBS picked up the series after it debuted on Channel 31.
