Summary

Screen funding and development organisation in Western Australia

Screenwest is Western Australia's screen funding and development organisation, working in partnership with the screen industry to develop, support and promote film, television and digital media production in Western Australia. Screenwest receives funding from the Government of Western Australia via Lotterywest. In July 2017 it took over the FTI (formerly Film and Television Institute).

History

On 1 December 2016, Minister for Culture and Arts John Day announced that Screenwest would transition out of government, and become an independent not-for-profit organisation. This structural transition was completed on 20 July 2017, with Screenwest formally becoming Screenwest (Australia) Limited.

On 17 May 2017, Screenwest announced the proposed consolidation of FTI (Western Australia) (formerly Film and Television Institute) and Screenwest. Support for early career filmmakers in the form of a grants program transitioned from the FTI to Screenwest from July 2017, when the FTI ceased operations.
