Australian Film Commission Indigenous filmmaker funding opportunity - NIDF 9
Application deadline: 4 August
NIDF 9 is an initiative of the Indigenous Branch of the AFC and Indigenous Screen Australia, in association with the Film Finance Corporation Australia (FFC), SBSi and the relevant state funding agencies.
NIDF 9 will comprise two 52-minute documentaries designed to bring important Indigenous stories to the screen, authored and crafted by Indigenous people.
The aim of NIDF 9 is to provide an opportunity for Indigenous filmmakers to work on longer-format documentaries. The selected projects will be well crafted, based on strong ideas, exhibit a high level of creative ambition and demonstrate the possibility of being financed for production. Each project must have Indigenous Australians in key creative roles (minimum writer and director). Indigenous producers are strongly encouraged to apply.
The writer, director and producer (if attached) must each have at least one, preferably two, short documentary credit/s of minimum 26 minutes duration that has/have been broadcast. Credits must be in roles in which applicants are applying (ie the director must have a directorial credit etc).
Applications will be accepted from any Australian State or Territory.
Detailed information about selection criteria and assessment can be downloaded from the website: www.afc.gov.au/funding/indigenous/documentary/nidf9/fund_76.aspx.
