Tuesday 9 December 2008: Screen Australia today released its 2009 Development and Production Financing Programs, following three months of industry consultation. The programs include a suite of new development initiatives that offer screen practitioners a range of pathways to develop their projects.
“The future of the Australian screen industry depends on the talent of its people and the quality of their projects,” Ruth Harley, Screen Australia Chief Executive Officer, said today. “We have re-thought the way in which the industry and projects are supported by Screen Australia. We have also substantially increased funding for development.”
