Abu Dhabi in partnership to fund trips for Australian film fest
MUMBAI: The Abu Dhabi Film Commission (ADFC) has announced the signing of a partnership agreement to fund trips for filmmakers wishing to participate in an Australian film industry initiative.
Melbourne International Film Festival‘s (MIFF) 37 Degrees South Market, which hosts the global film financing forum, will welcome UAE production companies at the event from 2010.
In turn, The Circle Conference, a series of film industry forums and workshops held during Abu Dhabi‘s Middle East International Film Festival will host filmmakers from Australia and New Zealand later this year.
“Executives from ADFC and the 37 Degrees South Market will select production companies to receive bursaries to travel to both countries and take part in these innovative industry events,” ADFC said in a statement.
