Today marks the opening of the 75th Venice International Film Festival and this year, Tasmanian feature film, The Nightingale, has been selected for screening.
The Hodgman Liberal Government supported The Nightingale through a $250,000 investment from Screen Tasmania.
The screening is an outstanding achievement and just another example of our screen industry going from strength to strength.
We have many more exciting projects in the pipeline and 2018-19 is shaping up to be another busy year for screen production activity in Tasmania.
A record seven projects received support through Screen Tasmania’s Capitalise production investment program and will create around 160 jobs for Tasmanians during production.
By investing additional funding in key screen projects through our recently announced $2 million Screen Innovation Fund we can guarantee these economic benefits for the State continue well into the future.
