DOCUMENTARY makers, short film and feature film developers are among the 2013 ACT Screen Arts Fund recipients announced by Arts Minister Joy Burch, pictured.
“There are nine screen-based artists in this first round of $80,000 funding,” Ms Burch said.
James Batchelor, a dancer and film maker, has been supported to make “Ersatz” – an interdisciplinary film project leading towards a multi-channel installation with live performance in the Centenary of Canberra project You Are Here festival 2013.
Other projects include a documentary about searching for the elusive night parrot by Robert Nugent, a short film about a young man who escapes from a cult by Jimmy Ennett and script development for a television series by Matt Anderson.
“The Fund is managed by ScreenACT and provides opportunities for the ACT community to access funding for film and screen projects,” Burch said.
