Film Lab: New Voices – Lesbian Space Princess Screening #2 + Q&A
Description
South Australia’s flagship low-budget feature film development initiative Film Lab: New Voices is back for a fourth intake, with applications open now for the development of bold, authentic and original feature film projects from first-time SA filmmakers.
Film Lab: New Voices offers three up-and-coming SA filmmaking teams the chance to develop their first low-budget feature film through a 12-month development program funded by the South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC) with financial assistance from Screen Australia. At the completion of the Lab one team will be selected to receive $600,000 in screen production grant funding for their film.
To help potential applicants learn more about the program, and the principles of low-budget film methodology, the SAFC is hosting a series of free screenings of Film Lab: New Voices films Monolith and Lesbian Space Princess in February, featuring filmmaker Q&A sessions.
This screening of Lesbian Space Princess will be followed by a Q&A with co-writer/director Emma Hough Hobbs.
