Screen Australia has committed Au$3m ($2.3m) towards fast-tracking 58 projects by female filmmakers, as part of a broader gender equality initiative.
The cash injection from Australia’s federal screen agency will fund the development of 45 film and television story ideas and 13 female-led business proposals.
Several of the projects are by women filmmakers with past professional credits but a significant number of the features come from newcomers or those making the leap from other disciplines within the industry, who might not otherwise quality for funding under the established structures.
The scheme will support the development of projects by 27 new directors and 46 first-time writers.
Among the projects financed are: Kill The Messenger, a new romantic comedy from director Samantha Lang (The Monkey’s Mask); Ride Like A Girl, a story of Australia’s most successful female jockey, which marks the directorial debut of actress Rachel Griffiths; and drama thriller Runaway, from producer Alex White and writer Mirrah Foulkes (Blue...

Sydney-based film school Metro Screen is set to close its doors at the end of 2015 after Screen Australia pulled its funding.
Chair of the Metro Screen Board Kath Shelper said that the only responsible option was to wind down operations.
.Every effort has been made by Metro Screen to secure additional funding but to no avail," she said..
"We need to be responsible to our staff and ensure we are able to meet our obligations to them, and therefore it is with regret that the Board has made the decision to close Metro Screen in December 2015,. Ms Shelper said.
The Screen Australia funding of $240,000 was directed solely to core operational costs (overheads)..
Metro Screen CEO Christina Alvarez said to cover this loss, the challenge had been to secure approximately $750,000 annually in new projects.
.Whilst Metro Screen has successfully secured some significant high profile projects in the past 12 months, unfortunately the target has not been met.

Live Wednesday night from Atlantic City, New Jersey, Ufc Night Night 45 (Cerrone vs. Miller) brought the action early and often.
There were three Tko victories in four fights on the preliminary card (albeit one a leg injury), a historic first women’s strawweight bout on Fight Pass, and a card made up entirely of finishes when it came time for the main portion of the show – almost unheard of in Ufc-land lately!
Luscas Martins opened the main card with an exciting fight against Alex White that made it all the way to the third round before a powerful punch connected with White’s face, leaving him dazed and slumping towards the mat. It was a Ko victory for Martins. Flyweight John Lineker decided to follow suit and scored a Tko victory in his fight against Alptekin Özkiliç, also in the third.
In the third fight of the main card, Joe...
