SBS Award Winning Journalist, Chris Hammer, will speak about video journalism/ documentary making, and present some of his work.

Chris Hammer returned to Dateline in 2005 after a four-year break. During a 20-year career in journalism, Chris has divided his efforts between reporting international events and three 'tours of duty' covering Federal Politics from Canberra's Press Gallery. He undertook his first international assignment for Dateline back in 1992, traveling to Scandinavia. Since then Chris has reported from more than 30 countries on six continents, with highlights including reports from the Caucusas, Japan, Bosnia, Cambodia and Brazil. He has a bachelor's degree in Journalism from Charles Sturt University and a master's in International Relations from the ANU.

Chris intends concentrating on the Pacific and Australian Foreign and Defence policy.
