Film is one of South Australia’s great creative strengths – it enriches our culture through storytelling that can reach the world.
The new Adelaide Film and Screen Centre, to be located within the Glenside Campus cultural precinct, will provide a landmark home for the next generation of film and screen talent.
Mike Rann
Premier and Minister for the Arts
The State Government recently announced the establishment of the Adelaide Film and Screen Centre at Glenside – the new home of the South Australian Film Corporation. These state of the art facilities will support and strengthen South Australia’s feature film industry and related production and audiovisual capabilities.
For over 30 years, South Australia’s screen industry has been at the forefront of Australian feature film production, making films that have engaged audiences and garnered international acclaim including classics like Picnic at Hanging Rock, Breaker Morant, Storm Boy, Shine (nominated for an Academy Award in eight categories, and winner for best actor), and more recent hits such as Look Both Ways, Ten Canoes and Wolf Creek. In recent times, through the emergence of leading digital effects and post-production houses, the reach of South Australian film and screen industry talent has extended to international productions such as Superman Returns and Harry Potter.
The South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC) has played an integral role in the development of the industry over this time, supporting local films and filmmakers, and ensuring that our State remains a national leader in independent film production and post-production. For some time the South Australian film and screen sector has been calling for the development of new facilities for the SAFC, allowing the Corporation to meet the needs of the modern and growing local industry.
The film and screen industry not only offers significant employment opportunities and career pathways, but also showcases this State as a creative world centre and attractive destination for students, tourists and migrants.
