Phoebe Hart

After completing her undergraduate degree in film and television production at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane, Phoebe Hart went on to be a finalist in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's (ABC) race around the world .   Next, she produced a documentary about travelling around Tasmania with four other ex-racers.   The Full Kombi screened on the ABC to strong reviews, which allowed Phoebe to continue her relationship with the ABC producing mini-documentaries for national broadcast with Recovery , Fly TV and George Negus Tonight .  

Continuing in the vein of factual television, Phoebe joined Network Ten's top rating children's factual program Totally Wild , which in turn led Phoebe to work with Ten's documentary department as a researcher, writer, coordinator and producer.   Her projects include Future Farming , Living Smarter , and The Tarkine - all of which have drawn strong audiences.  

Since going freelance, Phoebe has continued to produce and direct documentaries and short films for inclusion in film festivals under the banner of hartflicker.   Her acclaimed mini-doc Dumpster Divers was a finalist for the Wild Spaces Pro-Cam Award and screened at the Other Worlds Are Breathing Film Festival at the World Social Forum (WSF) in India.   Traje: Women and Weaving in Guatemala showcased at the WSF in Brazil, 2005, and has since toured the world at various festivals.

Phoebe continually produces documentaries for community organisations and for inclusion in film festivals, and works as a freelance producer and director regularly. Her acclaimed mini-doc Dumpster Divers screened at the 2004 Other Worlds Are Breathing Film Festival at the World Social Forum (WSF) in India. Traje screened at the 2005 WSF in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and the Latin American Film Festival in Atlanta, USA. In 2005, Phoebe commenced a scholarship-funded PhD project at QUT's new Creative Industries Precinct. She directed a primetime four-part documentary series on the state of higher education in Australia for SBS (broadcast in March 2008) called Downunder Grads, and completed a half-hour documentary for ABC1 on a group of women who play the rough-and-tumble sport of roller derby entitled Roller Derby Dolls (aired September 2008). She is a member of the Australian Directors Guild.

Phoebe Hart has a passion for all that is beautiful in the world and has a strong sense of social justice. She has travelled, lived, worked and studied in many parts of the globe, from the developed world (Germany and United Kingdom) to the majority world (Nepal and Guatemala). Phoebe completed her PhD at QUT in 2009, producing as part of her thesis a long form documentary on people living with intersex conditions entitled Orchids. The ABC has since picked up this project, and it is expected to premiere in 2010.
