Screen Australia is offering Travel Grants for producers to attend two markets in 2009 - the European Film Market (EFM) and the 10th Annual Kidscreen Summit. The deadline for applications to both is 5.00pm Monday December 1, 2008.
The EFM is held in conjunction with the 59th Berlin International Film Festival and will run 5-15 February 2009. More than 6,400 industry professionals from 80 countries participated in 2008.
Screen Australia is offering two types of grants for attendance at this year's EFM:
- Type B - for market-experienced producers; and
- Type C - for producers developing market experience.
To be eligible, producers must have previous producer credits and at least one feature film in development at a market-ready stage. Producers can apply for up to $5,000 towards their travel expenses.
The Kidscreen Summit will be held 11-13 February 2009 in New York. It broke attendance records in 2008, attracting more than 1,500 delegates from 43 countries. Children's entertainment executives attend to engage in critical dialogue on issues that affect the industry; understand current market needs, opportunities and challenges; learn more about key innovators and their vision; and find and share ideas that will drive their businesses forward.
Screen Australia is offering Type B Travel Grants only for attendance at the 2009 Kidscreen Summit. Producers can apply for up to $5,000 towards their travel expenses.
