Film Victoria’s International Fellowships program supports early and mid-career Victorian screen practitioners to gain international experience, develop craft and technical skills, build networks and increase expertise.
Two types of fellowship are available as part of the program – self-brokered and Film Victoria brokered – giving practitioners the flexibility to design their own opportunity in collaboration with a host company of their choice, or to apply for opportunities identified by Film Victoria as they become available.
