SlowTV

SlowTV delivers online video content - interviews, debates, conversations and public lectures on Australia’s key issues.

Accessible at any time at slowtv.com.au or via The Monthly magazine , SlowTV provides a forum for Australia’s leading minds and conversationalists.

SlowTV presents studio interviews as well as speeches and public lectures. Every day authors, artists, scholars, poets, politicians and thinkers speak around Australia at festivals, universities, bookstores - SlowTV gives these events wider exposure.

SlowTV puts a curated selection of these events online, in full. In its first months of broadcasting it has presented the likes of Tim Winton, Peter Carey, Germaine Greer, David Malouf, Helen Garner, Robert Manne, Clive Hamilton, Inga Clendinnen, Martin Krygier, Henry Reynolds, Les Murray, David Marr and William McInnes; as well as international figures such as Paul Auster, Junot Diaz and Siri Hustvedt. Relationships with organisations such as University of Sydney, The Australian National University, Adelaide Writers’ Week, Sydney Writers’ Festival, the Biennale of Sydney, Melbourne Writers’ Festival, University of Melbourne, Readings bookstores, the Alfred Deakin Lectures and numerous others ensure that SlowTV will continue to present a steady stream of high profile speakers from around Australia.

SlowTV uses the potential of internet video technology to deliver a new kind of content. Its programs explore issues and ideas at length, in a way that is impossible for the current mainstream media. SlowTV taps into a very significant audience that wants to see interesting intellects expressing themselves unconstrained by traditional program format limitations: its programs are informal but informative, offering something more than a one-way written text.

SlowTV delivers content with no charges, no memberships and no commitments.

SlowTV is owned Schwartz Media, publisher of The Monthly magazine, Quarterly Essay and Black Inc.
