Film and TV industry bodies join to campaign for greater government support
The Australian Directors’ Guild, Screen Producers Australia, Australian Writers Guild and the Media, Arts and Entertainment Alliance will today launch a joint national campaign to increase government support for the TV and film industries.
Film and TV industry to combine for fight for the future
Australia’s film and TV industry will come together on Monday to launch an historic campaign for the industry’s future.
In the wake of sustained funding cuts and changed viewing habits, the campaign will see intense lobbying efforts from members of the Australian Directors’ Guild, Australian Writers’ Guild, Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance and Screen Producers Australia to ensure Government support for the sector.
Hundreds of directors, writers, actors, screen crew and technicians and producers will be attending launches in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Hobart, with some big names from both in front of and behind the camera to be revealed as campaign supporters.
Campaign launches will be held at the following venues and times:
- Sydney: Event Cinemas, George St, 6pm
- Melbourne: ACMI, Federation Square, 3pm
- Brisbane: William Galloway Auditorium, TLC building, Peel St, South Brisbane, 6pm
- Adelaide: Mercury Cinema, Morphett St, 5pm
- Perth: Luna Cinemas, Oxford St, Leederville, 4pm
- Hobart, Fullers Bookshop, Collins St, Hobart, 5.30pm
