Australian screen industry undersells its achievements as a tourism, trade and diplomacy tool globally, and also has big business at home. CEO of Screen Australia, Graeme Mason, says that the successes of the Australian screen industry raises the profile of Australia on the world stage like no other form of creative expression, sport or industry.

Earlier in the year, the federal Commission of Audit recommended Screen Australia’s budget to be halved and the office merged with the Australia Council. But Graeme Mason stresses that Screen Australia’s core business will remain to assist quality Australian content being created and brought to your screens, be they cinema, smart TVs or mobile.
