First Nations Screen Strategy - South Australian Film Corporation

About the strategy

The vision for the SAFC’s First Nations Screen Strategy 2020-2025 is built on a tradition of 75,000 years of storytellers across South Australia, from the desert to the sea.

Our goal is to ensure that the South Australian First Nations screen sector is fully supported to thrive and create ambitious and distinctive projects for screen and digital platforms.
