George Miller at Sydney Writers' Festival 2021

George Miller is a legend of cinema. From Mad Max to Babe to the recent triumph of Fury Road (with a Happy Feet or two along the way), the film director, producer and screenwriter has a formidable track record and phenomenal breadth.

In Australia, we can sometimes feel constrained by a cultural landscape that discourages risk-taking, where the balance between commercial pressures and creative freedoms squeezes out original thinking.

And for that originality to come from the page - from projects that stem from a writerly impulse and an auteur's eye - is even rarer. One of this country's most revolutionary, most innovative creative figures joins the Sydney Writers' Festival to talk about screenwriting, storytelling and reinventing the world.
