The Screen Producers Association of Australia is holding its annual conference in Sydney soon. From November 4-7, television and film producers from all around Australia will meet for a series of lectures, seminars and dinners. The big international guest this year is none other than Star Wars supremo, George Lucas. With the latest instalment of the Star Wars saga - The Phantom Menace - due out next year, his lectures should prove popular with participants.

Also jetting in this year, are movie moguls from Twentieth Century Fox and Samuel Goldwyn Films, as well as television reps from Channel Four and Granada Productions. Rick McCallum, a Lucasfilm producer, is expected to attend, as is John Copeland, producer of Babylon 5. Full attendance can be expected at the "Special Effects and the Producer" session when Lucas, McCallum, Copeland and others discuss the do's and don'ts of special effects. Lucas delivers the opening address at Noon on November 5
