If you're 18-25 and curious about building a career in film making, a competition by Gerringong Pics and Flicks Association could be for you.

Partnering with Screen Illawarra, Gerringong Pics and Flicks Association is offering two young adults who live in Kiama or the Shoalhaven the opportunity to win an adventure of a lifetime exploring exactly that.

Screen Illawarra board member Janys Hayes said the application process starts on the Screen Illawarra website and is easy. What they are looking for are clear ideas expressing how your film, no script required, will benefit the community in any way.

“The winners will have to be people who are passionate about their projects, otherwise how are they going to actually do this over this amount time and produce this film? So it’s passion and creativity that we are really looking for,” Dr Hayes said.

Applications close Friday 29th May.

Calling all young, local film makers involved in screen writing, cinematography, film production,directing and editing, who would like to learn more of the craft of film making.

Do you see your future in making films for screen? Screen Illawarra is offering a film training scholarship in 2026 to fund two young adults to take the next step in their professional skills development and to provide access to film industry promotion and support. This film training scholarship program is being funded by Gerringong Pics and Flicks as part of their community outreach program.

Screen Illawarra is a virtual organisation which offers professional development, education and training for its members through face-to-face workshops and monthly networking events. It also fosters collaboration between members by enabling them to promote their skill-set and obtain employment through putting their biography online in Screen Illawarra’s Crew and Actor Directories.
Gerringong Pics and Flicks Incorporated is a community run not-for-profit organisation, which has screened films monthly on the first Friday of the month at Gerringong Town Hall for 26 years. They
also support the cultural life of the local community through various community outreach programs.

Screen Illawarra will be collaborating with the Australian Film, Television and Radio School (AFTRS) to assist two young residents from the Kiama and Shoalhaven municipalities to attend two AFTRS
short courses (one online and one on campus at their premises at Moore Park, Sydney). For the majority of the AFTRS short courses, applicants need to be 18 years of age at the time of their course
enrolment.

AFTRS is the nation’s premier screen arts and broadcast school. It empowers Australian talent to shape and share stories with the world. AFTRS staff are highly qualified and experienced in their
respective professional areas and have a depth of knowledge to share with participants. AFTRS has a diversity of courses in different skill areas: https://www.aftrs.edu.au/course-types/short-courses/
Applicants need to be 18 to 25 years when they enrol in their chosen AFTRS short course and live in either the Kiama or Shoalhaven Council Local Government Areas to be eligible to apply for the Screen Illawarra film training scholarship.

The scholarship valued at $1000 will provide $960 financial
assistance towards the cost of fees for the AFTRS short courses and $40 for one year’s professional membership of Screen Illawarra. To see Screen Illawarra’s promotion and support activities go to:
