Applications for SQ’s Screen Culture 2017-18 funding now open

Screen Queensland has opened applications for the first round of its 2017-18 Screen Culture Funding Program.
 
The program supports local screen events and festivals in communities across the state, enabling them to "contribute to a more competitive film industry domestically and internationally".
