Latest AFC News
This is the final edition of AFC News. This month we announce the 2008 Sounds of Australia entries and celebrate the success of Australian films. We also say goodbye to the AFC, which along with Film Australia and the FFC, will be replaced by Screen Australia from 1 July. And we wish the NFSA well as it embarks on its new life as a separate statutory authority.

IndiVision News
In the May 08 edition we celebrate the partnership between the AFC’s IndiVision and the Sydney Film Festival. In this issue we also place a special emphasis on performance. Our feature articles are taken from sessions at the 2008 IndiVision Project Lab with three lab advisors who are also outstanding actors: Rachel Griffiths, Claudia Karvan and Lindy Davies. New on YouTube: You can see Rachel Griffiths talk at the lab. Go to the /funding/default.aspx?id=82{IndiVision homepage} for the link to her video as well as those of Claudia Karvan and Lindy Davies.
