    053: Deep Dive with Katrina Irawati Graham: Who Gets to be Safe in our Industry?

    In this episode, Loani Arman speaks with Katrina Irawati Graham, co-director of the Stan series Bali 2002, about cultural safety in the screen industry - what it looks like in practice, and who is safe. They explore how cultural safety is shaped by systems of racism and power embedded in screen production, why racial literacy is necessary to recognise harm, and how harm is dangerously normalised in everyday industry practice. They also examine what it would take to move towards genuine cultural safety as a human right for all, grounded in collective responsibility, accountability, and care across the screen production pipeline.

    In this episode, Robbie chats to Karina Libbey, screen culture specialist and festival director of the Capital Film Festival about what festival curation and audience engagement looks like from a programmer's perspective.
