Screen Australia asks for comments

Screen Australia has released draft guidelines for comment covering development support, production financing and indigenous programmes. The four-month-old government film agency has USD60.5 million to spend each year.

Fiona Cameron, Executive Director Strategy and Operations, said: “Across the board the draft 2009 programmes reflect Screen Australia’s desire to help develop a vibrant Australian screen industry delivering quality Australian content that resonates with audiences.”

The draft guidelines aim to make applications for support simpler and speed up decision times, reflecting Screen Australia's commitment to be more flexible and easier for industry to deal with. The agency also intends to engage the industry more broadly in various assessment processes.

The programmes have built on the principles articulated in the draft statement of intent and incorporate input and feedback received during previous consultation.
