Screen Australia’s First Nations Department, in partnership with Screen Canberra, Screen NSW, Screen Queensland, Screen Tasmania, Screen Territory, Screenwest, South Australian Film Corporation and VicScreen, (the Agencies) are calling on First Nations production companies to submit factual projects with international co-production possibilities for consideration into the newly created First Nations Factual Co-production Development fund.
First Nations people across the globe share experiences and cultural values that resonate across time and place, and factual content offers a rich frame to explore these similar but diverse perspectives on First Nations shared perspectives. This fund aims to capture this potential by stimulating well-crafted, bespoke stories that capitalise on treaty arrangements in a tightening fiscal environment.
