Talent Escalator Programs
shorts programs

Screen Australia is committed to galvanising the connection between short filmmaking and a feature film career.

Short animation supports the production of shorts as a means of career progression for leading emerging animation talent, with particular emphasis on the director.

Short film completion provides finance for distinctive and creatively ambitious short films that show outstanding potential but lack the funds to finish.

Springboard targets outstanding teams one step away from making their first professional feature film, and assists them with defining, writing and producing a short film that is a creatively and professionally relevant calling card to their feature project.

The Director's Acclaim Fund provides support for the next stage of professional development for short drama film directors or writer/directors whose short has received significant recent acclaim.

Raw Nerve

Through the State & Industry Partnershps progam, Screen Australia also continues to support the production of short films by new practitioners through the Raw Nerve program.

This program provides opportunities to new filmmakers to create short films in collaboration with the screen resource organisation (SRO) network. Contact your local SRO for details:
