The film agencies have provided the following information:

Adelaide Film Festival (AFF)

In 2011, AFF developed an Indigenous Art & Moving Image program, which involved three major art exhibitions, public projections, a film program, a forum and a number of high profile social events by and about Indigenous filmmakers and moving image artists to accompany it.

South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC)

While SAFC does not yet have a targeted program that is specifically aimed for outcomes in this area it has done quite a lot to support film production that has Aboriginal content and screen industry training/experience for Aboriginal people.

SAFC has supported a number of SA Aboriginal film organisations through its Screen Organisations Program, including PY Media, Umeewarra, and Yaitya Makkitura.

It has also provided funding to assist the development of filmmaking and production for promising emerging Indigenous filmmakers.

In addition, it has provided matched funding for the development of a film project with Indigenous content, The diary of Jimmy Porter, involving the Adnyamathanha Traditional Lands Association.

It has also funded four projects that had direct employment outcomes for over 50 Aboriginal cast and crew residing in South Australia.

Other agencies and organisations

In addition, a significant number of agencies and organisations funded through Arts SA, including the Adelaide Festival and Adelaide Fringe, Adelaide Festival Centre Trust, South Australian Museum and others, include Indigenous artists and projects in their core programs.
