Screen Queensland has opened applications for the second round of its 2016-17 Screen Culture Funding Program.
Screen Culture funding supports Queensland-based events and projects across the state – or those linked with Queensland organisations and practitioners (in any format or any platform) – that help facilitate cultural activities and promote an understanding of film as a cultural experience.
Supported festivals and activities must engage and inform audiences, Queensland practitioners and regional Queensland, about screen culture activities and/or promote an understanding of the Queensland and Australian screen production industry within a broad global context.
Applications for this second round are for festivals and events taking place during the 2016-17 financial year and occurring between January 1 2017 to June 30 2017.
Funding is competitive and in order to ensure that a broad range of events are supported, funding is capped for projects of cultural significance and touring film festivals. Grants offered to successful applicants for smaller festivals will generally be in the range of $2,000 and $8,000.
• Applications close 5.00pm (AEST) Friday September 16 2016
