YOU COULD BE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR THE AFTRS CREATIVE FELLOWSHIP

 

Designed to advance the work of creative voices in the screen arts and creative sector, AFTRS has designed a Fellowship that will provide funding for a talented individual with ideas for moving image or screen based concepts to be realised in a form that can be seen/experienced by audiences.

 

Applicants will be required to submit a project that is adventurous in its aims, yet in need of funding that cannot be acquired from other funding agencies to take it to the next level of development. These projects must be bold in their ambitions and benefit from association with an educational body.

 

The applicant must be seeking to learn something new in the process.

 

The Fellowship is open to practitioners from a diverse range of creative backgrounds including, but not limited to, visual artists, filmmakers, screenwriters and beyond.

 

Funding for the Fellowship will not exceed $50,000.

 

Potential applicants are required to submit the following:

• An outline of the proposed project
• A creative portfolio
• A proposed budget, including an outline of how the Fellowship will advance the project
• A proposed timeline for completion of the project
• A statement of how the project meets the brief

 

Shortlisted applicants may be required to attend an interview and to present examples of their work and speak to their project.

 

Terms and Conditions:

 

Specific details will be finalised with the successful applicant, however generally:

• The successful applicant will maintain copyright in the finished work with suitable acknowledgment given to the Australian Film Television and Radio School
• The nature of the delivered work, and the timetable for delivery, will be by negotiation
• The successful applicant will be required to spend at least 10 days based at the School during the course of their project, at a time to be agreed by the CEO of AFTRS, to enable interaction with staff and students

 

Successful applicants will be required to deliver a report to AFTRS on completion of the project describing:

 

1. Creative process and outcome
2. How the funds were spent in the pursuit of the agreed goals

 

The successful Fellow will have the opportunity to work with the School with specialist staff or with access to facilities, if and when available.
