AUSTRALIA Asian Side of the Doc 2015

Supporting Australian producers in the international marketplace

www.screenaustralia.gov.au

1

Australian documentaries have entertained, intrigued, challenged and delighted

audiences around the world for many decades.

Australian producers are at Asian Side of the Doc because they want to collaborate

with Asian screen professionals.

Australia is a great production partner for film and television. Our industry comprises

many skilled professionals who have substantial international production experience

and an in-depth understanding of the marketplace.

Australian producers have extensive international contacts. They know how

to raise finance and how to deliver quality programs designed for

international audiences.

The Australian Government supports the industry in a

range of ways. The filmmaking services and facilities are

sophisticated, cast and crew are highly skilled and diverse

filming locations are available.

It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the Australian

companies doing business at Asian Side of the Doc in 2015.

Graeme Mason CEO, Screen Australia

We are the Australian Government’s major

screen funding agency.

We develop and finance high-quality, innovative

and commercially attractive projects designed with

audiences in mind. We conduct research, assist the

development of local screen culture, and market

Australian talent and screen content domestically

and internationally.

Screen Australia also administers the Producer

Offset incentive and Australia’s official

Co-production Program.

What is the Producer Offset?The Producer Offset is a rebate on the production

expenditure incurred in Australia when making

Australian film and television. Not all expenditure

qualifies, but the Offset can be worth up to 20 per

cent of Australian spend in the case of television,

and up to 40 per cent in the case of film including

feature documentary.

Official co-productions can access the Producer OffsetFilm and television made under Australia’s official

co-production arrangements are automatically

regarded as Australian, and therefore eligible

for the Producer Offset – providing they meet

other criteria too.

Australia has co-production arrangements with Canada,

China, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Korea,

New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and the UK.

Location and PDV Offsets Non-Australian productions taking advantage of

Australia as a filmmaking centre can access the

Location Offset for foreign productions filmed in

Australia, or the Post, Digital and Visual Effects

(PDV) Offset for productions that use Australia’s

post-production and visual effects talents, irrespective

of where filming occurred.

澳大利亚电影电视局是澳大利亚联邦政府的主要影视机构。

我们开发高质量、制作新颖、吸引观众并具有商业利益潜力的项目。我们研究并协助当地影视文化的发展，并在国内及国际市场推销澳洲人才及影视内容。

我们还管理制片人补偿激励计划以及澳大利亚的官方联合制作计划。

制片人补偿计划是什么?

制片人补偿是对于在制作澳大利亚电影电 视时在澳大利亚所产生制作费用的补偿。 并非所有费用都合乎资格，但对于包括纪录片在内的电视节目，补偿额度可达到在澳大利亚所产生费用的20%，对于包括专题纪录片在内的电影节目，补偿额度可达相关费用的40% 。

官方联合制作可获得制片人补偿

澳大利亚希望与国际制片人合作，这意味着他们可以分享制片人补偿的好处与成功。联合制作就是其中一种方法。

根据澳大利亚的官方联合制作计划制作的影视节目被自动视为澳大利亚的影视节目（正如此等节目在伙伴国被视为国内制作一样），因此符合制片人补偿计划的要求。当然还应满足其他标准。

澳大利亚与加拿大，中国，法国，德国，爱尔兰，以色列，意大利，韩国，新西兰，新加坡，南非和英国有合作制片的官方协定。

地点、后期制作、数字及视觉效果 补偿对于非澳大利亚制作的影视节目，可申请面向在澳大利亚境内拍摄而在海外制作的地点补偿，以利用澳大利亚作为电影制作中心的优势。对于在制作中使用澳大利亚后期制作及视觉效果人才的影视节目，无论摄制在何地进行，都可申请后期制作、数字及视觉效果补偿。

了解澳洲当地拍摄和后期制作补偿条例的更多详情，请访问网址 www.ausfilm.com.au
