First Nations filmmakers will be supported to develop innovative virtual reality documentaries as part of a new Screenwest initiative.
Culture and the Arts Minister David Templeman travelled to Broome to announce the program, which will support creatives to produce short VR films that explore the theme of Truth-Telling and how it relates to current First Nations conversations.
Funding for the Screenwest First Nations VR Truth-Telling Documentary Initiative is part of Lotterywest's $1.5 million support for Screenwest in 2023-24. The multimillion-dollar funding commitment is enabling several key projects and expanding the cultural impact of Western Australia's screen sector.
