South Australian Film Industry

In reply to the Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley) (25 June 2024). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. A. MICHAELS (Enfield—Minister for Small and Family Business, Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs, Minister for Arts): I have been advised:

The South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC) advises that in the 2023-24 financial year it committed $3,902,342 of funding for sixteen film and TV productions through the Screen Production Fund and the ABC-SAFC Content Pipeline Fund. These sixteen productions generated private sector investment of $57 349 773.

This information is based on the funding contracts for SAFC Screen Production Fund and ABC-SAFC Content Pipeline Fund projects committed in 2023-2024.

Anticipated private investment generated by SAFC grant funding cannot be reliably estimated at this point for 2024–2025 because of the number of variables within the composition of a production's finance.
