NITV has appointed Dena Curtis, Cieron Cody, and Joseph Meldrum to its commissioning team.
Screen Australia and Australians in Film have announced the recipients for the Talent Gateway and the Global Producers Exchange programs.
With NITV's Rebel With A Cause, executive producer Dena Curtis saw an opportunity to not only celebrate and recognise First Nations trailblazers, but to give mid-career directors the next step up.
Inkey Media Production's 'Rebel With A Cause' is a four-part documentary series that celebrates four iconic First Nations rebels - Senator Neville Bonner, poet Oodgeroo Noonuccal, magistrate Pat O’Shane, and media icon Tiga Bayles.
The creative team from last year's award-winning National Geographic documentary The Territory will headline next month's Regionality Cairns, which is presented by the Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) and Screen Queensland, in collaboration with Screenworks.
Told through the eyes of eight protagonists, 'We Are Still Here' traverses 1,000 years from past, present, and future to explore stories of kinship, loss, grief, and resilience.
Feature film 'The Drovers Wife The Legend of Molly Johnson', upcoming series 'First Weapons', and SBS Digital Original 'Latecomers' are among the titles that will be unpacked as part of this year's Screenworks Regional to Global Screen Forum.
First Nations anthology feature 'We Are Still Here' and Michael Spiccia's short film 'I'm On Fire' add to the Australian contingent headed to this year's Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
