SBS VICELAND UNVEILS PROGRAMMING SLATE AHEAD OF NOVEMBER LAUNCH
WEDNESDAY 19 OCTOBER, 2016
News Release
A bold and diverse line up of programs exploring global cultures for younger audiences has been revealed for SBS VICELAND today, ahead of the channel switchover from SBS 2 at 4pm on Tuesday 15 November, 2016.
SBS VICELAND will feature the best of SBS 2's much-loved local and international shows, alongside exclusive, original and award-nominated programming from VICELAND cherry-picked and curated by SBS. Bringing young Australians distinctive news, current affairs, documentaries, entertainment and movies from Australia and across the world, the channel's slate of shows will cover cultural issues, race, identity, gender, music, technology, fashion, food, travel, sports, and more. It follows the announcement earlier this year that SBS 2 will re-launch as SBS VICELAND on television and online platforms in a content deal with global youth media brand VICE.
New SBS VICELAND programs premiering will explore contemporary global cultures including Michael K Williams' examination of the world's underworld economies in Black Market; Ellen Page and Ian Daniel's Emmy-nominated exploration of LGBTQI cultures around the globe in Gaycation; Hailey Gates' investigation into global fashion cultures and issues the industry often ignores in States of Undress; Krishna Andavolu's in-depth look into the ethics of marijuana use and legalisation in Weediquette; an international culinary tour with rap artist Action Bronson in F*ck That's Delicious; and a globe-trotting illustration of the relationship between sport and society in VICE World of Sports.
SBS VICELAND will also deliver an international news alternative in the nightly VICE News Tonight, delve into challenges facing First Nations cultures in Cut-Off, explore the world of cyberwarfare in Cyberwar, immerse Australians in the lives of diverse cultures in Thomas Morton's Balls Deep, and provide a first-hand look into the global music scene with Noisey.
All of this and more will feature alongside SBS 2 favourites including the award-winning Australian-made, nightly news, pop culture and technology program The Feed, which has been bringing in-depth and fresh perspectives on issues impacting young Australians since launching on SBS 2 in 2013. SBS VICELAND will also include SBS PopAsia which introduced the Asian pop phenomenon to wider Australian audiences on SBS in 2011; the cult hit Chinese dating program If You Are the One; and all the excitement of Australia's weekly football matches with the 2016-17 A-League season - to name a few.
SBS Director of Television and Online Content, Marshall Heald, said: SBS's second digital channel has been the home of programs from around the world exploring youth and emerging cultures since SBS 2 re-launched in 2013. Now SBS VICELAND takes this to a new level with a truly cutting-edge, contemporary mix of local and international programs, made by young people, for young people, tackling the issues that matter to them today.
Combining the much-loved shows of SBS 2 with the best of VICELAND's unique global programming never before seen in Australia, SBS VICELAND will celebrate diversity in different ways, exposing people to new cultures and ideas, and helping young people understand the world in which we all exist. This is SBS unashamedly delivering on our purpose to provide multicultural and multilingual programs that inspire, inform and entertain, in a way that strongly connects to young Australians.
VICE is committed to telling the world's most compelling stories in new and ever better ways, spanning all corners of culture and featuring a diverse range of talent, filmmakers and fresh new voices. Since launching in 2003, VICE Australia has been producing award-winning editorial and video programming for young Australian audiences, across a network of digital channels spanning news, culture, music, fashion, tech and sports.
Editorial highlights include a compelling documentary series covering the Indigenous experience of incarceration in Australia; a 2016 Federal Election podcast, hosted by comedian Aamer Rahman; and video series across its food channel Munchies, The Creators Project, and the female-focussed Broadly.
VICE Australia Managing Director, Michael Slonim, said: For young Australians wanting to expand their world view and feed their curiosity about life, we hope SBS VICELAND becomes an important cultural touchstone. The channel will be a place they can turn to for unique perspectives about so many of the things that they care about.
SBS VICELAND also presents an exciting opportunity for SBS and VICE to work together in the future to produce Australian programs for the channel.
Here's what Australians can expect on SBS VICELAND from 15 November:
Black Market
Actor Michael K. Williams (The Wire, The Night Of) meets societys outcasts, from poachers in South Africa to carjackers in New Jersey, heroin-addicted shoplifters in London to stick-up boys in Brooklyn, in an unflinching look into the lives of the people who work in underworld economies. Drawing on his own past living on the fringes, Williams gains unprecedented access into these worlds, treading a dangerous line to bring us a glimpse of lifestyles that many of us rarely see.
Gaycation
Actress Ellen Page (Juno, Inception) and her best friend, Ian Daniel, set off on a journey to explore LGBTQI cultures around the world. From Japan to Brazil, they discover the multiplicity of LGBTQI experiences through amazing people and their stories of struggle and triumph. From the threat of the rising far-right in Ukraine to the deep-rooted traditions of India, Ellen and Ian gain an understanding of how queer people navigate their identities around the globe in this Emmy-nominated program.
