Netflix has announced its ‘Netflix Indigenous Scholarship Fund’ in collaboration with the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS) to support and encourage First Nations storytelling.
Netflix is providing $515,000 to fund the project over a two-year period, with a selection panel from AFTRS allocating the funding as they see fit.
The funding is undoubtedly a huge win for diversity in the Australian media landscape. Considering it was just last year that the Media Diversity Report revealed that just 2.1 per cent of on-screen media talent in Australia identifies as Indigenous, this is an important and long overdue step in the right direction.
