Actress Anna Lindner hadn't necessarily planned to also become a screenwriter, yet felt she had "no option" but to turn her own painful and profound experiences with caring and loss into a dark comedy, 'A Beginner's Guide to Grief'.

Over three parts, the documentary series 'The Australian Wars' gives voice to the story of the country’s longest and perhaps most defining war, examining the battles fought on home soil, as the colonial frontier pushed forward, and First Nations peoples resisted.
Subjects ranging from the Australian Open tennis tournament to the country's LGBTQI+ history will be explored in the latest round of documentary projects to receive production funding from Screen Australia.

SBS has revealed the cast for Digital Originals production 'Latecomers', with Hannah Diviney, Miriama Smith, and Patrick Jhanur to appear alongside co-creator Angus Thompson.
