Welcome to this year’s Stakeholder ReportIn 2014/15 Screen NSW continued to pursue its goals of fostering creative excellence and maximising the State’s share of national screen production.

Competition for both development and production funds was exceptionally strong this year.

Production Finance worth more than $4.3 million and Regional Filming Fund grants of $375,000 supported the production of 32 local film, television and interactive projects in NSW. Together these projects leveraged over $89 million in NSW production expenditure and supported over 5,500 jobs. Regional filming locations included the Southern Highlands, Broken Hill, Katoomba, Bourke, Tumut, Batlow and Carcoar.

DEVELOPMENT & PRODUCTION FUNDING

The Early and Advanced Development programs supported 71 screen projects. Festival Travel supported 15 projects to attend international festivals. The Aurora program supported four features, giving talented teams the chance to work in an accelerated development process with an impressive list of Australian and international script advisors.

Attracting international productions to NSW

NSW continued to attract footloose film projects, which are integral to the State’s screen production ecosystem. Through the NSW Film and TV Industry Attraction Program (FIAP), the Government secured three new animated feature films from Warner Bros to be made by Animal Logic while Alex Proyas’s large budget fantasy epic Gods of Egypt moved into post-production. NSW also secured the independent US production, Truth, starring Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford, which shot for eight weeks in Sydney, and the new Mel Gibson directed feature, Hacksaw Ridge, which commenced filming in September 2015.

Together these international projects are estimated to generate more than $340 million in NSW production expenditure and create over 1400 jobs.

Screen NSW supported feature films screened at festivals around the world and many also achieved critical and commercial success.

George Miller’s highly anticipated Mad Max: Fury Road screened at Cannes and went on to take over $370 million at the worldwide box office. The LEGO Movie, also produced at Animal Logic, won Best Animated Film at the BAFTAs and took over $460 million at the worldwide box office.

INDUSTRY SUPPORT

Support for emerging filmmakers remains an important focus for Screen NSW. This year three high quality short film projects were funded through the Emerging Filmmakers Fund, helping talented teams on the road to success.

Two emerging producers were offered placements under the Producer Extension Placement and all projects receiving more than $100,000 in Production Finance were required to engage NSW practitioners in paid attachments.

Screen NSW continued its strong support for industry and audience development activities. The Industry Development Fund provided $426,700 to ten organisations for conferences, workshops and mentoring.In addition to support for Sydney Film Festival, the Audience Development Fund provided $141,000 to 12 organisations for public screenings, festivals and touring events to more than 60 venues across the state. Screen NSW will continue to work with industry to stimulate investment and innovation, and boost the participation of NSW practitioners in the local and global industry.

Appendix 14 — UNESCO Sydney City of FIlm

With support from the NSW Government, the City of Sydney Council, and key screen industry stakeholders, Sydney was awarded the UNESCO City of Film status in December 2010. The existing screen infrastructure in Sydney and the diversity and value of film culture of Sydney was a major reason for the success of Sydney’s bid. It places Sydney as one of only five Cities of Film including Galway (Ireland), Sofia (Bulgaria), Busan (Korea) and Bradford (England).

In 2014/15 Screen NSW represented Sydney City of Film and UNESCO Creative Cities Network Annual General Meeting in Kanazawa, Japan.

Showcasing Sydney City of Film, Screen NSW, together with the Australian Publishers Association, hosted a successful event, ‘From Page to Screen’ as part of the VIVID Ideas festival, which brought publishers and producers to share ideas around adaptations.

Sydney City of Film worked with Galway City of Film and Busan City of Film on dedicated festival screenings and cross promotional activities via websites and through social media.

Sydney City of Film is promoted through social media via screen.nsw.gov.au and on its own Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.
