DIGITAL SCREENS NOW GROWING AT A PHENOMINAL RATE

The number of digital screens has risen dramatically, from just 27 in 2006 to 311 in 2009.

A note on definitions:
Australian titles are defined as those under Australian creative control, including those that are 100 per cent foreign financed, as well as projects where creative control is shared between Australian and foreign partners with a balanced mix of Australian and foreign elements in the key creative positions ('co-productions').
The classification of projects under these definitions is undertaken by Screen Australia's Strategy & Research Unit, and once determined, the classification flows through all project-related outputs of the Unit. This includes the National Survey of Feature Film and TV Drama Production, and the online statistics compilation Get the Picture, as well as reporting on box office and DVD share.
The classification is unrelated to whether or not a project has been certified as eligible for the Producer Offset, as the Strategy & Research Unit does not have direct access to this information.
Administration of the Offset is governed by the secrecy provisions of the Tax Act and only the taxpayer, in this case the production company, can share information about their tax affairs, including the Offset status of their projects.
