Screen Territory and Darwin International Film Festival are proud to launch the SPARK Film Initiative with a complimentary Screen Development Workshop for Filmmakers and Content Creators!
We invite you to learn crucial Production skills to:
1. Understand the role of Copyright in Content (including excerpts of Australian and Hollywood films)
2. Understand Contracts and Chain of Title to license your film for commercial success.
3. Secure releases and clearances of all those who participate in your project and particularly for cultural and broadcast approval.
We will explore how you can use these skills to protect your project and participants and take your project from script to success on the screen at the VIBE Hotel nearby to Darwin's Iconic Deckchair Cinema before DIFF Closing Night.
