Joss Whedon is one of the world’s best-loved screenwriters – a writer across film, TV and the web, a director and enduring pop culture fan.

In this keynote event auteur Joss Whedon will talk about his ongoing love affair with the popular, and the ways in which storytelling changes – and the ways it stays the same. He will talk of his fascination with outsider heroes, strong women, and the uses and abuses of power.

Joss will also discuss the creative ways in which he has played these out in a variety of media forms – in films from Toy Story to the forthcoming Avengers film, in TV series from Buffy through Firefly and Glee, and across a vast range of comics.

Join Joss Whedon for his only Melbourne event; chaired by the irrepressible Sue Turnbull.

This event will be Auslan interpreted.
