Applications for ROUND ONE of Screen Queensland’s 2016-17 Screen Culture Funding Program closes today 5.00pm (AEST – QLD) Monday 22 February 2016.

SQ’s Screen Culture Funding Program supports Queensland-based events and projects or those that are linked with Queensland organisations and practitioners (in any format or any platform) across the state and that help facilitate cultural activities and promote an understanding of film as a cultural experience.
Supported festivals and activities must engage and inform audiences, Queensland practitioners and regional Queensland, about screen culture activities and/or promote an understanding of the Queensland and Australian screen production industry within a broad global context.
Funding is competitive and to ensure Screen Queensland can support a broad range of events, funding is capped for projects for instance, grants offered to successful applicants for smaller festivals will generally be in the range of $2,000 and $8,000.
Applicants are encouraged to discuss their submission with Screen Queensland before applying. Please email Rowena Billard, Screen Culture Manager: rbillard@screenqld.com.au
