Welcome to the June/July edition of AFC News. We are very pleased to announce the launch of the new AFC website - the gateway to Australia's screen industries.
As of 1 July, the AFC and ScreenSound Australia are officially integrated. Around Australia in July, the AFC is holding screenings to launch the new Film Development Funding Guidelines and website. We have also continued our efforts to have the special status of culture recognised in trade negotiations and supported filmmakers at the Cannes, Annecy, Sydney and St Kilda festivals.
You currently subscribe to the AFC's monthly newsletter AFC News. You can also subscribe to the AFC Trade Bulletin or Get the Picture (industry statistics) monthly alerts.
