Screen Australia is a newly established Australian Government agency operating under the Screen Australia Act 2008 Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts. Screen Australia commenced operation on 1 July 2008, bringing together the functions of the Film Finance Corporation Australia FFC and Film Australia Limited, as well as most of the functions of the Australian Film Commission AFC. The National Film and Sound Archive, previously part of the AFC, has been established as a separate statutory authority. See nfsa.gov.au The creation of Screen Australia heralds a new era in Australian film and television, expanding the potential of the industry and the opportunities for the more than 50,000 people it currently employs. Screen Australia aims to be a strong centralised funding body, encouraging greater private investment in Australian film and television and building on the enormous contribution the industry already makes to the Australian economy.
