The Australian Film Finance Corporation (AFFC) was established in 1988 to support the growth of the Australian film industry. It provided funding and investment for film projects, helping to develop local talent and promote Australian stories. The AFFC aimed to enhance the international competitiveness of Australian films. In 2008, the AFFC was merged into Screen Australia, which continues its mission to support filmmakers and the broader screen industry. Screen Australia offers funding, development assistance, and resources to ensure the ongoing success of Australian cinema and television, fostering creativity and innovation in storytelling.
