  • +SCREEN STORIES


  • The ADG is proud to be working with Screen Canberra, the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Screen NSW and the ACT Government's Office of LGBTIQA+ Affairs to launch the +SCREEN STORIES Mentorship Program - a comprehensive 3-month mentorship for LGBTIQA+ screen storytellers.


  • This bespoke program is being created by esteemed UTS academic Dr Natalie Krikowa. It is a transformative initiative designed to build a dynamic, intergenerational, interdisciplinary network of support and shared expertise within the LGBTIQA+ screen community. This program will uniquely cater to a diverse group of LGBTIQA+ filmmakers, screen storytellers, and game makers. It will provide tailored guidance and support that respects and celebrates their unique identities and experiences.

    The program will start with the +SCREEN STORIES Symposium and Networking Party on 7 November for all storytellers, followed by an upskilling day at the National Film and Sound Archive on 8 November 2024 to kick off a 3-month mentorship and support program for eligible practitioners.

    Mentors already attached to the program include director Fadia Abboud, writer/directors Julie Kalceff, Alistair Baldwin, AP Pobjoy and Monica Zanetti, writer Martine Delaney, producers Mitchell Stanley, Rosie Lourde and Hannah Ngo, DOP Erika Addis, editors Elliot Magen and Deb Peart, documentarians Dena Curtis and Sam Matthews, and leading game makers.

    This opportunity is currently available to:

    • 10 ACT-based screen practitioners from the LGBTIQA+ community across disciplines
    • 3 NSW-based screen practitioners from the LGBTIQA+ community across disciplines, with Screen NSW providing up to $800 in travel support to each recipient
    • 2 ADG members from the LGBTIQA+ community from across Australia.
