Emerging Western Australian screenwriter Celeste Franklin has been awarded the Australian Film Television and Radio School's 2020 Storytelling Scholarship, which supports AFTRS' mission to discover and support writers from under-represented groups.
To celebrate the 40 years since its inception, the Australian Directors' Guild (ADG) will launch a series of mentoring sessions from some of its most high profile members, starting this week.
Members of the Australian Directors’ Guild have benefitted from the knowledge that comes with being among the country’s most established filmmakers across the past five months as part of the ADG-40 'First-Hand' sessions.
Directors Baz Luhrmann, George Miller, Gillian Armstrong, Peter Weir and Warwick Thornton will each feature on a series of postage stamps, as their contributions to Australian culture are honoured via the Australia Post Legends Awards.
"Creativity is a revolutionary act. So is education. The school does both." AFTRS began celebrations for its 50th year this week, bringing together the cohorts of 1973 and 2023.
