SYDNEY -- Sandra Levy, a former Australian Broadcasting Corp. director of television and Nine Network head of drama, has been appointed director of Australia's pre-eminent film school, the Australian Film, Television and Radio School, AFTRS chairman Peter Ivany said Thursday.
Levy, who also has worked as an independent producer with a number of significant feature films and TV drama series to her credit, replaces outgoing director Malcolm Long, who is retiring from the position after four years.
Ivany said Levy brings a "wealth of experience in screen production and broadcasting."
"Sandra has an enviable reputation both as an independent producer and as a commissioning head, responsible for some of our most important screen drama productions and, as director of ABC Television, she played a central role in the production and broadcast of successful programs in many genres," Ivany said.
Levy, who will join AFTRS next month, is charged with steering the government-funded organization into a new era, Ivany said, with the school's Sydney headquarters relocating next year to new facilities adjacent to the Fox Studios lot.
