With two parallel yet overlapping inquiries under way into the Australian screen sector, what can the industry realistically hope will be the outcome?
FX Australia has commissioned its first local TV series, 'Mr Inbetween', to be directed by Nash Edgerton.
Director Warwick Thornton decided to make his latest documentary 'We Don't Need A Map' following backlash he received when he compared the Southern Cross to a swastika.
The Australian Film Television & Radio School (AFTRS), Screen Australia and the state funding agencies have united to put on a skills development program for emerging practitioners from diverse backgrounds.
With production funding from Screen Australia and Create NSW, comedian Damian Callinan will adapt his live act into a feature, 'The Merger'.
'Slam', to be shot in Western Sydney later this year, follows the disappearance of a young Muslim woman in a climate of mistrust and xenophobia.
Leeanna Walsman, Ewen Leslie and Joel Jackson will also star.
The feature is one of four film projects and seven television dramas supported by Screen Australia in its latest $8.8 million funding round.
