7.0 Collaboration and Advocacy 29
7.0 Collaboration and Advocacy 7.1 Screen Australia Ausfilm’s CEO and Chair met Screen Australia’s newly-appointed CEO to discuss opportunities for collaboration. Ausfilm has regular contact with the relevant arms of Screen Australia, particularly with Marketing, Co-productions and the Producer Offset. Evidence of the collaboration can be seen from Alex Sangston’s (Head of Co-productions and Producer Offset, Screen Australia) attendance at Ausfilm’s UK mission and presence on the panel to promote co-production opportunities. Ausfilm involves Screen Australia and the State Screen Agencies at an early stage in the development and updating of its factsheets, especially those referring to programs administered by Screen Australia. Equally, Ausfilm involves DEWHA closely when preparing information materials on the programs administered by the Commonwealth Government. Ausfilm provided feedback on Screen Australia’s marketing guidelines as part of Screen Australia’s industry consultation. Ausfilm also prepared a submission to Screen Australia on the possibility of establishing a talent website that would enable international clients to view information on Australian talent. Ausfilm considers the service essential to satisfy a demand that is not being met. 7.2 Ministerial support and liaison During the year Ausfilm raised a number of issues with the Minister for the Arts, DEWHA, regarding co-operation from the Department of Defence in accessing sites and in relation to the construction of a Horizon Tank in Australia. Minister Garrett demonstrated his support for Ausfilm by writing the foreword for the inaugural Ausfilm magazine and accepting an invitation to participate in Ausfilm’s LA mission in October 2009 (subject to scheduling and approval processes). 30 7.3 DEWHA Ausfilm continued to maintain close contact with DEWHA, and with key personnel. Towards the end of the reporting period, DEWHA’s Greg Jericho left his position on the last day of the reporting period and will be replaced by Penny Gault for the next reporting period. During the reporting period, Ausfilm also successfully negotiated a new funding deed for 2009-10. The deed’s funding was very closely aligned to Ausfilm’s business plan. 7.4 States meetings Ausfilm held regular meetings with the four State Partners (the State Screen Agencies of Victoria, NSW, Queensland and South Australia) in order to better co-ordinate missions and marketing activities. 7.5 Outlook Ausfilm will target the effectiveness of the ASPI with a planned study into the economic impact of securing foreign productions to Australia and an investigation into the effectiveness of the Location and PDV Offsets in attracting productions to Australia.
