Three Australian features made the international circuit in 2024, and the funding trail behind each tells a different story.

The MEAA survey found that one in five below-the-line crew left the industry between 2022 and 2024, and the productions still filming have not yet felt the gap.

Total box office recovered to $1.1 billion, but the Australian share fell to 3.8 per cent, the lowest in a decade.
The state fund backed 34 projects in the last cycle, but the distribution reveals a preference for television and international co-productions over standalone features.
The number is the largest on record, but the distribution tells a different story.

On 23 March 2020, every cinema screen in the country went dark, and the production pipeline behind them froze with it.

Australian films took 4.6 per cent of the domestic box office in 2019, and the number tells you less than you think.

The pipeline was full, the crews were booked, the Location Incentive was drawing Hollywood, and nobody knew what March would bring.
