Monday, 22 December 2008 14:55

After months of uncertainty and strong lobbying by QPIX and Screen Development Australia (SDA), Screen Australia has decided to recommit to funding the Raw Nerve Short Film Program. 

As of today we are accepting Raw Nerve entries up to 10 minutes in length.  The deadline is the 13th of February.  Raw Nerve will not be themed this year.

Scripts recently submitted to the PFTC Short Film Development and Production Program will only be accepted if an application form for the Raw Nerve program is submitted (additional copies of scripts etc. not required in this case). 

Selection to the PFTC program will be prior to any assessment of scripts received into Raw Nerve.

QPIX to Present First Australian Discovery Campus
Written by Administrator   
Friday, 28 November 2008 11:27
In a major breakthrough for industry development in this region, QPIX has secured the exclusive license to deliver the first DISCOVERY CAMPUS documentary masterclass in the Australian & New Zealand territories. DISCOVERY CAMPUS, a Munich-based organisation, is associated directly with DISCOVERY NETWORKS (Europe & Africa). QPIX is now in discussion with a range of national partners at the state and federal levels, and is open to additional partnerships in delivery of this first program. QPIX's securing of this license is a reflection of the success of its own Laboratory development program, now in its ninth year. In the case of this first Australian/New Zealand masterclass, QPIX has worked with DISCOVERY CAMPUS in modifying their European program into a more output-designed, industrialised program better suited to local conditions. This new hybrid program has been greeted enthusiastically by DISCOVERY CAMPUS. Delivery of the program is scheduled for September 2009. Guidelines and further detail will also be available in 2009.
