INGO PETZKE (supervising producer) joined Bond University in March 2001.
His previous position was as full Professor for Film & Video at Fachhochschule
(University of Applied Sciences) Würzburg in Germany since 1983.
A filmmaker in his own right, Ingo had his short films screened at numerous international festivals. Ingo was involved in starting or running four art house cinemas in Germany and currently is the driving force behind the Gold Coast Cinematheque. He worked free-lance as a programmer for major festivals including the famous Oberhausen International Short Film Festival, the Trondheim Film Festival (Norway), and the Würzburg International Film Weekend (Germany). In 1981 he was co-founder of the European Media Arts Festival in Osnabrueck (Germany).
For the Goethe-Institut (German Culture Institute) he lectured and conducted workshops in 28 countries world-wide - as far apart as Japan, Philippines, Thailand, USA and Chile. For several years he was a member of the Goethe-Institut's Film Board.
Ingo has published internationally, most notably his long-awaited Noyce biography Phillip Noyce - Backroads to Hollywood (Sydney: Pan MacMillan 2004) which earned him the offer of a Dr. Phil. degree from Osnabrück University (Germany). The Experimental Film Handbook (Frankfurt: Deutsches Filmmuseum 1989), Companies on the Internet: Designing Web Sites (Munich: Oldenbourg 1998) and The Big Premiere Software Companion (Düsseldorf: Data Becker 2001) [which simultaneously was released in a French version] are his stand-out publications. His articles have been published in numerous German papers and magazines but also internationally in Oko (Zagreb), Kinoteka (Zagreb), Falter (Vienna), Agenda (Melbourne), Metro (St.Kilda) and Senses of Cinema (Melbourne).
