backgrounds that have a story to tell.

are offered equipment, facilities hire, stock, post production facilities,
and a $2,000 budget. In addition, each filmmaker is mentored by an industry
professional to help them through the process.
All you need is a story or idea and the vision and commitment to make it
into a five minute film.
Previous films have explored topics including:
* cultural conflict and drama of stereotypes
* issues surrounding sexual attraction between white people and people of
colour
* beliefs and notions of 'truth', history and memory
* ideas around the term Œpeople of middle eastern appearance¹
* ideas around the topic of ŒAustralian Values¹
Many award-winning shorts have been produced through this scheme and
applicants have gone on to produce more award winning work. GEORGE
BARBAKADZE MMS film ŒBlack Rain¹ has a very interesting festival life. It
was nominated for the Golden Unicorn at the Alpinale film festival in
Austria. "Black Rain" was the first Australian film to screen in Alpinale,
as the festival is only for European countries. And since then, the film has
screened at many prestigious film festivals such as: Los-Angeles
International Short Film Festival, Sao-Paulo International Film Festival.
ŒBlack Rain¹ screened in almost every continent and been received very well.
When asked how did Metro Screen impact on your confidence as a filmmaker?
George replied
³Confidence comes with practice. I am very grateful for Metro Screen for
choosing my project and giving me an opportunity to make this film. And the
timing for this film was the best.²
Applicants are selected on their idea, relevant skills and how the process
will impact their careers. People with experience in other artforms and
practices are also encouraged to apply.
