Feature Production applications open year-round
From Monday 14 September 2020 applications for Feature Production will be able to be made at any time.
Screen Australia’s Head of Content Sally Caplan said, “Now more than ever it’s essential we support filmmakers to plan their projects and move into production. Opening the Feature fund to allow applications at any time will mean creatives can submit applications for production at the time that best suits their project. Our aim is to give applicants increased flexibility in this challenging time.”
Feature projects requesting funding over $1 million will still be required to submit by due dates in line with Board meeting decisions.
For features requesting under $1 million the turnaround time for decisions will be approximately 8-10 weeks from the receipt of an eligible application.
Screen Australia’s Feature Film Production program aims to support a diverse slate of Australian films for theatrical release that entertain and enlighten domestic and international audiences while reflecting the unique characteristics of Australian identity.
Before applying for Feature Production applicants must contact a Screen Australia Investment Manager to discuss their project.
Production funding for TV projects will retain deadlines for applications.
