Overview

The South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC) is a statutory body established under the 1972 South Australian Film Corporation Act. The SAFC has a Board of Directors, which is appointed by the State government and reports to the Minister for the Arts.

Vision

The vision of the SAFC is to create a sophisticated, dynamic film and television industry and community that prospers in a rapidly changing world and which makes a significant contribution to South Australia’s cultural and economic well being.

Function

Since our inception in 1972, the SAFC has formed a vital part of South Australia’s cultural and economic life.  Our role changed substantially in 1994 when the SAFC ceased production to become a film support body and lead agency in South Australia for the promotion, stimulation and development of the film industry.

The core functions of the SAFC are to foster the creation and delivery of critically acclaimed and commercially successful ideas, moving images and sound for any viewing medium; to support the SA screen industry in a dynamic and responsive manner and to optimise opportunities for production & post-production in this state.

The SAFC core activities include:

• Screen practitioner development and support.
• Script and project development.
• Production investment funding, cash flow loans and incentives.
• Operation of production and post-production facilities.
• Marketing of SA as a viable shooting location and the expertise of South Australian facilities and crew to both domestic and international markets. This includes offering a free and confidential locations service and production liaison for projects looking to shoot in SA.
