Screen Australia: draft program guidelines
Screen Australia has released draft guidelines for comment covering development support, production financing and Indigenous programs.
Across the board the draft 2009 programs reflect Screen Australia's desire to help develop a vibrant Australian screen industry delivering quality Australian content that resonates with audiences, Fiona Cameron, Executive Director Strategy and Operations, said today.
In summary Screen Australia has focused its activities to support quality projects and attract credited practitioners to increase the chances of successful outcomes, she said.
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 programs have built on the principles articulated in the draft Statement of Intent and incorporate input and feedback received during previous consultation.
Comments on the draft program guidelines are invited until 14 November 2008.
