The South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC) and Channel 44 are aiming to help South Australian First Nations screen creatives to forge new careers in television production with the return of their First Nations Internship Program, which is now also open to tertiary students.

Now in its second year, the internship program was launched as part of the SAFC’s First Nations Screen Strategy 2020-2025 and is part of a wider partnership between the SAFC and Channel 44 to provide opportunities to South Australian First Nations screen practitioners.

This year up to three First Nations interns will be selected for placement at Channel 44’s Collinswood studios to be mentored across key creative and crew roles by experienced Channel 44 staff, getting hands-on, on-set experience in television production and creating original content for broadcast.

Internships are available across various roles including production assistant, web development, production coordinator, social media and marketing, editor/VFX/animation, casual production crew including hair, makeup and wardrobe, and more.

Applications are open to entry-level and emerging South Australian First Nations screen practitioners and tertiary students, with no experience necessary – although evidence of previous screen credits is preferred.

Applications close Friday June 17, 2022
