We acknowledge and respect the Traditional Owners of lands across Australia, their Elders, Ancestors, cultures and heritage, and recognise the continuing sovereignties of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations.

We respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which the ACTF is based and pay our respect to their Elders past and present.

We are honoured to have the opportunity to learn from the oldest cultural storytellers in the world and seek to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practitioners to share their rich culture and perspectives with children in Australia and around the world via stories on screen.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website may contain images, voices or names of deceased persons in photographs, film, audio recordings or text.

Internships

Unpaid short internships for university courses

We can sometimes accommodate a short internship which is officially required as part of a course of study for a relevant tertiary degree (e.g. screenwriting, communications, education). Places are limited to 2 or 3 a year and it is essential that applicants understand that the ACTF is not a production company and does not offer “on set” or production experience. Please look carefully at this website and what we do before making an enquiry and sending your CV to info@actf.com.au. You will need to explain why you have chosen the ACTF for your internship, what the course requirements are and when you would like to undertake the internship.

Paid internships for recent graduates and or/early career professionals

We provide paid 16-week internships to emerging producers or writer/producers. These positions have been filled for the 2022/2023 financial year. Watch this space or follow us on social media to see whether there is a call for new applications mid-2023.
