Australia Uncovered, SBS’s strand of prime-time single documentaries exploring diversity and equality in contemporary Australia, is continuing with SBS now inviting proposals for projects to be broadcast in 2023.

Australia Uncovered will feature up to six single documentaries ranging from one hour to feature-length. Filmmakers are encouraged to be creative in their approach to style, form, and construct, and the uniting factor once again is that all submissions must have something compelling to say about Australia today and align with the SBS Charter.

Shortlisted proposals seeking either development or production funding will once again participate in a pitching session as part of the Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC), 6-9 March 2022.

Applicants are required to submit their proposals with ‘Australia Uncovered Submission’ in the subject line to factual@sbs.com.au by January 28, 2022.

Production companies can also submit ideas that are already fully developed for production funding from SBS or projects that are in mid-production or close to finishing for post-production funding. Both the funding routes are open until June 30, 2022.
