1 I want to hold regular screenings for a film club in our local hall – how do I go about doing this?
Distributors hold the screening rights to most films. If you go to www.imdb.com you can find out who holds the rights to the film you wish to screen. Many distributors will not allow you to screen from DVD as the quality is poor.
2 I want to hold a film festival screening local films how do I go about arranging this?
To screen local films you will need the permission of the filmmaker and you will also need a festival screening clearance from the Office of Film and Literature Classification as most locally produced films will not have an OFLC classification.
3 I want to run a screen culture event and I’m wondering if FTI will sponsor such an event?
Look on this site to find the two streams of Screen Culture funding that we offer. You may apply for up to $4000 for your event or apply for the waiver of venue hire. FTI members receive 25% discount off venue hire.
