Production Funding Opportunities Australia and the UK
The focus of this document is on identifying appropriate organisations and structures in Australia and the UK with a brief description of available funds. Criteria change so regularly that detailed funding descriptions quickly become dated.
The information outlined for each country should be seen as a guide to producers, particularly when first considering offshore ventures and dealing with overseas producers. It is based on desk-top research, backed up by input from NZ Film Commission (NZFC) staff.
New Zealand has co-production agreements with both Australia and the UK. A film approved as an official co-production is regarded as a national production of each of the co-producing countries. Each co-producer is therefore eligible to apply for any benefits or programs of assistance available to their respective national productions.
Note that as co-production treaties occur between national governments access to regional level incentives does not automatically apply.
To make contacts with potential co-producers refer to the producers’ association in each country or attend relevant film festivals and markets.
Feedback is welcome on the document in order to keep it current and should be sent to the NZFC.
