Two Australian films - Rodd Rathjen's debut feature 'Buoyancy' and Daniel Gordon's feature documentary 'The Australian Dream' - are nominated for Asia Pacific Screen Awards (APSA).
Rodd Rathjen's 'Buoyancy' won Best Youth Feature Film at last night's Asia Pacific Screen Awards (APSA) in Brisbane.
Screen Australia has selected 11 creatives selected to travel to New York in April as part of the Talent USA: New York. The delegation will attend the Australian International Screen Forum where they take part in professional development and networking opportunities.
A new feature film from Baz Luhrmann, set in a small Australian country town, is among the 18 recent projects to receive story development funding from Screen Australia.
Director Rodd Rathjen showed his mettle in his debut feature 'Buoyancy' so he is an obvious choice to direct an asylum seeker drama based on the harrowing experiences of Kurdish-Iranian journalist Behrouz Boochani.
A spin-off of 'High Maintenance', starring Yael Stone, and a comedic crime series from Jungle Entertainment are among the 21 projects that will share in more than $600,000 in story development funding from Screen Australia.
