For Film’s Sake (Ffs), the advocacy organisation behind the female-focused film lab Attagirl, has joined with Sydney Film Festival (Sff) to announce two new prizes and an incubator program aimed at supporting filmmakers of diverse backgrounds.
Ffs and Sff today unveiled the Attagirl Production Prize, a $25,000 grant to be awarded to one film from the graduating cohort of the inaugural Attagirl lab.
Jury selected, the prize will support the film deemed most ‘market-ready’ and incentivise additional investment from the film marketplace and community.
Six Australian projects and one from New Zealand were among the 13 from around the world selected to take part in last year’s lab, which aims to support global feature filmmakers to navigate the challenges of development and financing which follow from digital disruption of theatrical exhibition.
Initially imagined as a travel program to international market-driven film festivals, Attagirl was pivoted to digital delivery in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.
