Alt Melbourne hosts the industry’s best women talent for International Women’s Day 2023

Alt.vfx Melbourne brought together some of the best women talent across agency and production this week, as part of the company’s celebrations for International Women’s Day.

 

Hosted by executive producer Eyvonne Carfora and Alt’s Oscar-nominated VFX supervisor Genevieve Camilleri, the event was designed to help build a more deeply connected women creative community in Victoria.

Says Carfora: “We were so delighted to welcome everyone to the studio – with no agenda apart from helping foster greater connections and collaborations for Victorian women creatives. We wanted to celebrate the work we’ve done together this past year, as well as point the way for future creatives – what better way to do that than to hear from one of Australia’s only VFX supervisors who have been nominated for an Academy award, our very own Genevieve Camilleri!”

Camilleri has spent many years working in Canada as well as Australia and worked her way up from junior compositor to visual effects supervisor. She has worked on over 38 high-end feature films such as Love and Monsters, Peter Rabbit, Doctor Strange, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Mad Max: Fury Road, across various studios.

In addition, she has also spent several years working as a compositing mentor for CG Spectrum College of Digital Art and Animation as well as an Academic Sessional Staff member for Victoria University.

In 2021, Camilleri was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects for her work as the visual effects supervisor on the feature film Love and Monsters. She now helps lead Alt’s team of VFX supervisors working across film, television and commercials.

Says Camilleri: “It’s been so inspiring to hear from these women of all ages across the industry. Our creative challenges are often very similar across projects, and sharing those stories and celebrating each other’s achievements is something we should do more often.”

The pair were also joined by Alt’s new global head of talent and culture, Hayley Gibson, who looks after the company’s new global recruiting and HR initiatives.
