The National Film and Sound Archive (Nfsa) will receive support from the Federal Government to work with an Indigenous filmmaker as part of the UK/Australia Season cultural exchange.
A $70,000 grant has been announced for the institution to commission a contemporary, digital work within the season theme of ‘Who are we now?’.
The Nfsa will match the funding contribution with in-kind support of more than $100,000 and retain the work as part of their collection.
Tentatively titled Re/Vision, the project will see an Indigenous filmmaker collaborate with Nfsa curatorial and technical experts to offer an interpretation of Australia’s audio-visual heritage to today’s audiences.
Nfsa head of collection Jacqui Uhlmann told If guidelines and invitations for EOIs would be published in the coming weeks.
“This is a unique opportunity for the Nfsa – to open our digital collection, to commission a personal, inspiring, and potentially challenging creative work,” she said.
