Career

Her first documentary, The Sound of Therapy focused on the use of music therapy with developmentally delayed children. It was screened nationally by the Australian public broadcaster, Special Broadcasting Service, received extensive media attention[1][2][3][4][5] and earned her a place at the Australian Film, Television and Radio School[6]. She subsequently made numerous short films,[7] including 'Surrender',[8] which achieved theatrical release and positive critical attention within Australia and at international film festivals.[9]

From 2004 to 2008, Julia held senior policy positions within the Australian government's film funding agencies (Policy Officer, Manager Governance and Strategic Planning). She was a member of the Transition Team responsible for overseeing the merger of the Film Finance Corporation Australia, the Australian Film Commission and Film Australia into the current single agency, Screen Australia.[10]

Since obtaining her PhD in Media and Communications,[11] she has published numerous articles on screen policy and presented papers at various international conferences and institutions,[12][13][14] including the US Society for Cinema and Media Studies (SCMS) and the European Network for Cinema and Media Studies (NECS). She has delivered guest lectures at Kings College London[15] and the British Institute in Paris, and has held visiting fellowships at the Université Paris III (UFR Arts et Medias) and the University of London. Dr Hammett-Jamart is known in particular for her research into policy implementation on international co-productions.[16][17][18][19][20]

In 2009 she relocated to France, where she continues to produce and direct documentaries and has co-founded the Coproduction Research Network.
