Opinion: Rugby league is art, and the arts community could learn a few lessons from it | oz_f
I’m not talking about the power of cinema but rather the blockbuster appeal of the greatest sporting event in the world: State of Origin.
But how can a film – any film – compare to the magic of Origin? The idea that being forced to choose between game one and the Film Festival is a choice between sports and the arts assumes that rugby league is not itself art.Game of Thrones The idea that sport and art are distinct categories with no overlap in purpose, form or audience lacks nuance. But perhaps this framing of them as competitors for eyeballs and resources isn’t surprising, given how much government policy, particularly during the pandemic, was geared towards keeping the ball in play versus the financial wellbeing of the arts community.
whose fault is it really when that popular support doesn’t translate to better policy and more money? Is it time arts administrators and advocates thought more strategically about mobilising the public?Why does the Sydney Film Festival open on a Wednesday night ?
