Screen Australia has released its draft Statement of Intent (SOI) for 2008/09, in response to the Statement of Expectations from the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts. SOIs are formal commitments by Screen Australia to meet the expectations of Government.
The draft sets out preliminary thinking within Screen Australia on the shape of its future programs. It sets out a new direction for Screen Australia in an environment considerably changed by the introduction of the Producer Offset and the amalgamation of the three screen agencies largely responsible for funding development, production and marketing of screen content.
Screen Australia will use the directions articulated in the SOI as the basis for developing the suite of programs to be offered in 2009. A second round of industry consultation regarding guidelines and programs will take place in October.
Comments on the draft SOI are invited until 30 September 2008. Full details.
