The Adelaide 48 Hour Film Project team will shortlist applicants and select up to four grant recipients based on the selection criteria:
- Filmmakers must demonstrate that they are capable to participate and deliver a film as part of the Adelaide 48HFP by describing their team’s backgrounds and skills. For new filmmakers, collaboration with a seasoned filmmaker/s will be viewed favourably.
- Demonstration of how the grant will contribute financially towards the team’s participation in the Adelaide 48HFP by providing a detailed production budget and quotes for equipment hire through ProAV Solutions.
The selection committee’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. The selection committee is not required to discuss the reasons for their decisions or give feedback. The successful and non-successful recipients will be notified by email by Tuesday, 5 September, 2023.
