The $15,000 grant for First Nations filmmakers and storytellers is a unique opportunity to share authentic voices and perspectives through documentary filmmaking. This initiative supports the creation of short documentaries (5–10 minutes), empowering Indigenous filmmakers to explore significant stories, celebrate culture, and bring underrepresented narratives to the forefront.
Beyond funding, the grant also provides essential resources to support creative development and production. Successful applicants will receive industry mentorship, specialised workshops, and crew support, enabling them to realise their vision and connect with a wider audience.
Applications close 16th June 2025. We encourage all eligible First Nations filmmakers with compelling stories to apply.
All applicants should note that any content created will need to align with the ICIP principles as outlined in these documents:
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we operate and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We recognise their continued connection to the land, waters and culture.
