Screen Australia, together with its Gender Matters Taskforce, used International Women's Day to unveil two initiatives aimed at supporting women and gender-diverse practitioners.
Screen Australia's Gender Matters Taskforce and WIFT Australia have partnered on a new mentorship program aimed at empowering women and gender-diverse practitioners from across the screen industry, from production through to distribution and marketing.
Producers of narrative features and feature documentaries fear that reducing the Producer Offset for films to 30 per cent will have a devastating impact on theatrical releases.
Enzo Tedeschi’s horror anthology 'Deadhouse Dark' features interrelated shorts from Rosie Lourde, Megan Riakos, Denai Gracie, Tedeschi, Rachele Wiggins and Joshua Long.
Rosie Lourde is making her feature film directing debut on 'Romance on the Menu', a romantic comedy from the Steve Jaggi Company now shooting in Brisbane.
A documentary series centred on young athletes and a dramedy about two single mums living in the remote Northern Territory are among the seven online projects to receive more than $1 million from Screen Australia.
Screen Australia has announced the 18 members of the new iteration of the Gender Matters Taskforce, which provides independent advice to the agency, and works beyond Screen Australia’s direct sphere of influence to deliver outcomes for female creatives and assist in broader industry efforts to achieve gender parity.
While production shutdowns are causing mass unemployment among all sectors of the screen sector, some practitioners see an upside.
