Screen Australia’s drama production survey continues the research published by the Australian Film Commission since 1990, tracking production of feature films and TV drama programs (mini-series, telemovies and series/serials) by financial year.
The survey covers all Australian and co-production titles made each year, as well as foreign titles if they are shot (or substantially shot) in Australia. See Key terms for definitions used in this report.
Data on foreign productions carrying out post, digital or visual effects (PDV) work in Australia without shooting here is also available from 2005/06 onwards and is presented separately to allow ongoing comparison with historical production data.
Feature films and TV dramas represent about 20 per cent of all audiovisual production in Australia. Other areas of activity include documentaries, light entertainment, commercials, music videos, corporate video and TV production such as sport, news and current affairs. See the Production section of Get the Picture for details and for pre-2004/05 data.
