About Me
- Lynden Barber
- Twitter: @lyndenbarber I am a Sydney-based freelance journalist specialising in film and music; script and screen industry consultant; and a curator for the National Film and Sound Archive website, Australian Screen Online. My professional journalism appears in The Australian, Limelight magazine and Lumina (the quarterly journal of AFTRS - the Australian Film, Television and Radio School). My writing also appears on-line at SBS TV's film website and Goethe-Institut's Australian website,and sometimes in The Drum at the ABC site. In late 2010 I was the acting host and organiser of AFTRS' Friday on my Mind, a weekly public interview with screen professionals. In 2005 and 06 I served as Artistic Director of the Sydney Film Festival, "attracting good crowds to a well-received program" (Sydney Morning Herald) and achieving "a good critical wrap" (Variety). Before this I was the staff film writer at daily broadsheet The Australian for a decade and before that the senior film critic at The Sydney Morning Herald. Born in the UK, I moved to Australia in 1985. My work has also been published in Melody Maker, NME, Meanjin and Rolling Stone (Australia) among many other publications.
