Press release from ScreenWest
ScreenWest in partnership with the Film and Television Institute (FTI) is calling for applications from Indigenous communities who are interested in recording, preserving and archiving the stories, accomplishments and reflections of their community members. Applications close March 15, 2010.
Indigenous Community Stories is an initiative which is aiming to film 100 Western Australian Indigenous stories and digitally archive them for future generations to view over the next 100 years and beyond.
ScreenWest will manage the applications and selection process of the community stories that will be filmed. FTI will then coordinate a film crew to visit the successful applicants’ community, to film and digitally archive the stories.
This project has been funded with the assistance of Lotterywest.
The third round of applications will close 5:00pm Monday March 15, 2010 and ScreenWest is keen to hear from community coordinators or representatives who want to have their community’s stories recorded on film.
