Screen Australia is offering travel grants for producers travelling to the upcoming market MIPCOM, 5–9 October 2009.
The deadline for travel grant applications is Friday 7 August 2009.
Applicants can apply for up to $10,000 towards the cost of their travel. Producers must have a reasonable body of completed, produced and released work, commensurate with their level of experience, to showcase their talent and ability. Applicants must also have at least one active project in development, and for more experienced producers it must be ready for financing. In the case of more experienced producers, a slate of projects is preferable, at least one of which has secured 25 per cent of its budget. The travel grant guidelines and application form are available to download from here.
More information about MIPCOM can be found on the Markets page.
Screen Australia will host a stand at the event, which attending Australians can utilise.
To discuss their application eligibility, applicants should first contact Screen Australia’s Marketing Support Coordinator, Nicole Powell, on 02 8113 5835 or via email nicole.powell@screenaustralia.gov.au
