Focus 2021: NEW TEAMS
Screenrights’ 2021 Cultural Fund closed for applications at 5pm AEST, Wednesday 28 April. The successful recipients were announced on 11 August. The 2021 focus was New Teams.
“This year’s focus on New Teams attracted a strong round of high quality applications out of which seven projects have been approved with a rich diversity of participants and project aims,” said Screenrights Board Director and Cultural Fund Working Group Chair Geoffrey Atherden. “We’re confident that this year’s grants will deliver rewarding and innovative outcomes for audiences and the screen industry in Australia and New Zealand.”

Screenrights awarded three projects in 2018, four projects in 2019, and a record seven projects in 2020 and 2021.
