XR Mentorship Program


July 25, 2022

Screen Queensland and Screenworks will support two Far North and/or North Queensland-based practitioners to participate in the XR Mentorship Program.

The program will offer two practitioners interested in the XR sector to be mentored by one of two industry professionals via two zoom sessions, before being supported with travel to Brisbane for an expenses-paid working week where they will shadow their mentor and engage with the industry in a professional capacity.

Discover more about the industry mentors participating in this program, via Screenworks’ latest webinar.

Acknowledgement of Country
Screen Queensland acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Traditional Custodians of Australia. We recognise their 65,000 years of custodianship that pre-dates colonisation. We pay our respects to Elders, past, present and recognise the cultural and historic connection to land, sea, cosmos (the inclusion of the constellations that are part of a Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander spiritual and environmental narrative) and community. Screen Queensland is committed to elevating the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practitioners to continue to share their rich cultures and perspectives with the Queensland and global community through screen storytelling. Screen Queensland understands the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and practitioners to be leaders in their own narratives to promote inclusion, collaboration and authenticity. Always was, always will be.
