about cinenet
Director in New York, producer in Paris, editing suite in Sydney? Cinenet can put them all in the same space in real time.
Cinenet is Australia’s only high-speed broadband data network created by filmmakers specifically for screen media industries. It breaks the barrier of distance by providing a shared, connected infrastructure for film producers, editing facilities, visual effects providers, sound facilities and DVD producers.

'no reservations' posts globally with cinenet
Uninvited guests dropping in on the production process would give any studio a nasty case of indigestion.
So tight security was the order for No Reservations, the story of a highly-strung New York chef, played by Catherine Zeta Jones, who unexpectedly finds herself guardian of her young niece.
The film was shot in Manhattan, but director Scott Hicks chose to edit in Adelaide with a second cutting room in Sydney, while the music supervisor was in Los Angeles, and composer Philip Glass also worked from New York.
cinenet expansion a boost for australia’s screen industries
More Australian screen media practitioners are set to get a leg-up in the competitive global market, with the expansion of Australia’s premier industry-based broadband network, Cinenet.
Cinenet provides services tailored specifically for clients in the areas of film, television, traditional and new media who need to move large volumes of data in a hurry to domestic and international markets.
“With the expansion of our network to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne and core services from Tier 1 National Carrier, Agile, we can now provide our services in all Australian capital cities and selected regional centres,” says Cinenet’s Managing Director, Tony Clark.
a trunk call from KwaZulu Natal
How do you get a pair of African elephants, a Slovakian orchestra and a Parisian co-producer into an Australian edit suite all at once?
This was the challenge facing Adelaide filmmaker Mario Andreacchio as he brought together the diverse and far-flung components of his latest film, Elephant Tales.
The story of two young orphaned elephant brothers on a quest to find a new family was shot in KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, but collaborators in the project were scattered across 4 continents. Always an early adopter of new technology, Mario was keen to use a system that could eliminate one of filmmaking’s biggest constraints: distance.
