20 06 2023 - Media release Screen Australia and Network 10 announce projects for First Facts: First Nations Factual Showcase
First Facts: First Nations Factual Showcase recipients in Sydney for the workshop on 14 June 2023.
Screen Australia's First Nations Department and Network 10 have selected eight projects for development as part of First Facts: First Nations Factual Showcase for First Nations documentary filmmakers. The initiative is aimed at providing First Nations emerging and mid-career filmmakers with opportunities to develop short documentaries to screen on 10 Play and Network 10's social media channels.
The First Facts recipients attended a workshop last week to develop their projects, which also included sessions with guest speakers including Rachel Perkins (Brand Nue Dae, The Australian Wars), Allan Clarke (The Bowraville Murders, The Dark Emu Story) and Narelda Jacobs, OAM, host of 10 News First Midday and Studio 10. Following the workshop each team will pitch their project to a panel of industry professionals. Six teams will then be selected to receive up to $70,000 of production funding to make their 10-minute documentary for Network 10.
Screen Australia's Head of First Nations Angela Bates said, The First Facts initiative is a fantastic platform for First Nations creators to build their skills, showcase their distinctive voice as storytellers, as well as develop their careers and share their authentic Australian stories to Network 10's audience. I'm excited to witness the breadth of talent in these teams and support them to make their documentary projects come to life.
Daniel Monaghan, Senior Vice President Content and Programming, Paramount Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), parent company for Network 10 said, The projects selected are an incredible collection of unique and creative ideas that explore and amplify a broad range of perspectives and stories. Their vision and resonance are captivating, and we're proud to be partnering in this initiative to bring compelling stories which will undoubtedly inspire and connect with audiences on 10 Play.
