ABC TV and Adelaide Film Festival partner to create production fund

February 25, 2011 11:27

ABC TV Arts and Entertainment have formed a partnership with the Adelaide film festival to create the Hive Production fund – which will support arts based films and documentaries.

The announcement:

Last night at the opening of the Adelaide Film festival (AFF), the Premier of South Australia, the Hon Mike Rann announced ABC TV Arts & Entertainment and the AFF are joining forces to create the Hive Production Fund. The Fund will support the production of selected arts-based films and documentaries. ABC TV and the AFF will each contribute $200,000 to the Fund.

Inspired out of the Hive Development Lab currently running in Adelaide, this $400,000 funding initiative is designed to assist one-off, ambitious and audacious arts films for screening at the AFF and on ABC TV. The joint fund reflects an ongoing partnership between ABC TV and the Adelaide Film Festival Investment Fund that has seen co-investment in many projects, including last night’s AFF world premiere – Mrs Carey’s Concert.
