Adelaide Studios to open in June
The new $43m screen industry hub in South Australia finally has a name: Adelaide Studios.
“A new era in South Australian screen production is about to begin. We’re confident Adelaide Studios will become a key destination for the local, national and international film and television industry,” said Premier Mike Rann.
The studios will open in June 2011, and the complex will be home to the South Australian Film Corporation and local companies and screen practitioners.
Adelaide Studios will have state-of-the-art studio facilities for film, television and new media production. The studios have been designed to offer an alternative to the larger facilities in the Eastern states that are targeted at attracting large-scale offshore production.
“The creation of the Adelaide Studios represents a significant milestone in the SAFC’s 40-year history and will provide the infrastructure and flexibility that the South Australian industry needs to support growth into the future,” said SAFC chairman Cheryl Bart.
