A feature documentary tracing the journey of a celebrated Argentine activist has won the Australian Film Television and Radio School (Aftrs), Doc Society, the Australian International Documentary Conference (Aidc) and Screen Nsw’s inaugural New Perspectives Pitch Lab.
Jayson McNamara’s Norita was selected amidst a group of six projects for the pitch training initiative, which is designed to support non-fiction talent with a social impact project in development or production.
Set in Argentina, the documentary tracks the transformation of Nora Cortiñas, following the kidnapping of her son by Argentina’s dictatorship in 1977.

Aftrs, Doc Society, Aidc and Screen Nsw have announced the social impact projects selected for the inaugural New Perspectives Pitch Lab.
The program consists of five coaching and development sessions and an online pitch event with mentors, including Malinda Wink, global director of Doc Society’s Good Pitch and Screen Nsw investment manager Andrea Ulbrick. The sessions begin this week.
The focus on the pitch training is to support participants to develop strategies and pathways for non-traditional access to audience and finance for projects that have potential for an impact campaign.
The initiative was open to projects from across the non-fiction landscape, and encouraged “projects that offered a rare insight into the under-represented and overlooked; stories from those who see more than what’s shown in the common zeitgeist; stories that break barriers and explore nuance over polarity.”
One team will go on to be selected for pitching opportunities at...
