AFI changed for better services

It's not easy to run a national-based film researching service with limited financial support of the Federal government, but the Australian Film Institute comes up with a financial surplus this year after a second year of growth. Aiming to provide better service for filmic information and search, some structural changes in the AFI annual report has recently been proposed for the institute. But what exactly does this mean to the members?

Arts Alive talked to Ruth Jones, the chief executive of the AFI to find out more about the resources and services AFI offers, the future of AFI awards and about the proposed changes. Ms Jones also commented on how the institute is going to spend its surplus, and how it is keeping it up as the film institute serving the whole nation.
