PANELS - The Forgotten (FREE events during the Fairfield City Writers' Festival; starts 29 May 2007)

The ninth annual Fairfield City Writers' Festival (FCWF o7) is organised by Fairfield City Council and is supported by many partners: Powerhouse Youth Theatre, Fairfield Advance, Metro Screen, Sydney Film School, Fairfield Writers' Group and the Sydney Writers' Festival.

The Festival will appeal to all local aspiring writers and members of the community, with the opportunity to speak with local, national and international authors across the three days of the festival.

This year’s theme, ‘The Forgotten’ ensures lively dialogues on forgotten people, forgotten histories, lost identities and hidden memories. Three free events will be held in Fairfield City at two venues, Cabramatta's Whitlam Library and Fairfield’s School of Arts.
