Live in the Studio: TV Behind Bars
This panel at ACMI is guaranteed to hold you captive.
Overview
If you’re a fan of quality television, this upcoming ACMI panel discussion is guaranteed to hold you captive. Inspired by the recent commercial and critical success of jailhouse comic-drama Orange is the New Black, Live in the Studio: TV Behind Bars will examine our morbid fascination with life under lock and key.
Hosted in ACMI’s Studio 1 on the evening of February 27, TV-savvy speakers Clementine Ford, Byron Bache, Jess McGuire and Ben Pobjie will be on hand to dissect 2014's first season of US programming. They’ll also be talking about Australia’s own forays into the 'women in jail' genre, in the form of the iconic '70s series Prisoner as well as its recent quasi-reboot, Wentworth. No word on whether Channel 9’s ratings bomb Schapelle will get a mention. I suspect we’re all sick of hearing about it.
