This was achieved with ScreenWest investment of $5.17million; so for every $1 invested by ScreenWest our producers were able to turn this into $10 in value to their production budgets.

The productions included the much anticipated screen version of Tim Winton’s Cloudstreet, animation series Dogstar (series 2), children’s series Castaway and Waabiny Time, feature ﬁ lms Red Dog and Blame, and outstanding factual programs Gallipoli Deep Secrets, Skin Deep, Filth, and Who Do You Think You Are? (series 2).

In keeping with the economic growth in the sector, the ﬁ nancial year was a record in terms of critical recognition of WA productions and practitioners, as demonstrated through their success in national and international festivals and awards. The successes were across a range of productions and craft, highlighting the depth and level of talent in Western Australia. ScreenWest Annual Report 2009-10

5 Enhanced digital program In 2009-10, ScreenWest increased its focus on digital development and production. To bolster industry skills, ScreenWest hosted a two-day Executive Digital Workshop with national speakers which were well received by the industry. The ScreenWest, Department of Culture and the Arts (DCA) and ABC joint digital initiative iArts continued with applications taken for round two. ScreenWest also partnered again with Singapore’s Media Development Authority to continue the media development initiative. To further boost the industry skills ScreenWest appointed a Digital Project Manager who will be responsible for managing ScreenWest’s digital funding schemes and encouraging digital creativity in the WA ﬁ lm industry. The digital program for the coming year is very promising with the new digital initiatives launching and the internationally acclaimed digital media think-tank X|Media|Lab being held in Perth for the ﬁ rst time in April 2011. X|Media|Lab Perth will connect artists, media practitioners and public institutions with international experts to propel our creative digital content from concept to market.

ScreenWest Indigenous Screen Strategy Guided by the Indigenous Film Policy 2003-2008, ScreenWest has long recognised the need to proactively develop Indigenous ﬁ lmmakers. This has resulted in a rising WA Indigenous screen industry and many notable achievements.

During the year a new ScreenWest Indigenous Screen Strategy 2010 – 2015 was developed in consultation with the Western Australian Indigenous ﬁ lmmakers. In developing the new strategy, we looked at practical ways in which ScreenWest funding and support can move Indigenous production forward in Western Australia over the next ﬁ ve years.

With the strategy as guidance, ScreenWest is well placed to continue to provide a high level of support to WA Indigenous ﬁ lmmakers, and to continue to grow the skills set and number of Indigenous ﬁ lmmakers and screen companies.

A focus on the future The ScreenWest Strategic Plan 2006-2011 will conclude in June 2011. Work has begun on the development of a new ﬁ ve-year strategic plan (2011 - 2015), a process that will involve signiﬁ cant input of the screen industry and other stakeholders. This is a crucial juncture in the ongoing growth of the WA screen industry. It is a time to critically assess recent years, and set a new strategic path that will see the Western Australian screen industry continues to grow, provide employment and business opportunities, and most importantly, tell robust stories across a range of genres and platforms.

Their on-going support of our industry has ensured that ScreenWest is well placed to repeat the positive results of this ﬁ nancial year in 2010–11.

We would also like to acknowledge the signiﬁ cant contribution of the ScreenWest Board and dedicated staff. In particular, our sincere thanks to outgoing Board member Joan Peters for her guidance, advice and contribution to the ScreenWest Board for six years.

Finally, our thanks to all the key creatives, crew, cast, and support companies who have worked on WA productions this year. It is your hard work and commitment that keeps the industry going and growing.

21 ScreenWest Annual Report 2009-10 Special Initiatives and FTI Funding

West Coast Kids Initiative A joint initiative of ScreenWest, ABC TV and the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF), West Coast Kids will fund a new 13 x 15-minute situation comedy series aimed at 10-14 year olds, to be screened on ABC3. Three projects were initially selected to receive development funding, with one project – Mal.com by Animazing Productions – then selected to receive further development funding.

Secrets and Lives Initiative ScreenWest negotiated a new factual production initiative with SBS, Secrets and Lives. Secrets and Lives is a long running series for SBS, produced in association with State funding agencies. The project is based around short character led, thematic series. The ﬁ rst Western Australian project, Filth, the story of extreme cleaning, is in production. A further project will be selected with production to occur in 2010-11. iArts 2 A joint digital initiative of ScreenWest, Department of Culture and the Arts (DCA) and the ABC, iArts was continued in 2009-10. iArts 2 provided Western Australian arts practitioners and digital content producers with the opportunity to utilise social networking to interact with their target audience and other arts stakeholders as part of the creative process. An accompanying short documentary following the process will screen on ABC TV which will complement the online work.

Inaugural iArts project Motel Deception, was selected as a ﬁ nalist in the 2010 ReelDance Australian/New Zealand Awards. Australian choreographer Chrissie Parrott and producer Nancy Jones created the contemporary dance cross-platform media project. A unique component of Motel Deception is a website with over 350 different clips of the ﬁ lm, shot from various angles that users use to create their own dance mash-up version.

Film and Television Institute (FTI) During the year FTI managed on ScreenWest’s behalf a range of emerging production initiatives. This included Link (four short ﬁ lm projects with each receiving up to $30,000), Hyperlink (one project up to 15 minutes in length provided with up to $70,000), and the Making Movies Roadshow program that visits regional and remote communities.

Indigenous Program ScreenWest implemented a broad program of activities that aim to create opportunities and increase the skills and talent of Indigenous ﬁ lmmakers in Western Australia, and to bridge the skills gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous ﬁ lmmakers. Many of the activities are carried out in partnership with the FTI.

ScreenWest Indigenous Screen Strategy 2010 – 2015 The strategy was developed in close consultation with the WA Indigenous ﬁ lmmakers and industry partners. In developing the strategy, the WAIFs looked at practical ways in which ScreenWest funding and support can move Indigenous production forward in WA over the next ﬁ ve years.

Key issues taken into account were the current level of skills in the state; making a living as a professional media practitioner; attracting market interest in local Indigenous productions in a changing production and broadcasting environment; and most importantly, developing the most ScreenWest Annual Report 2009-10 relevant forms of ﬁ lmmaking and media production for the local community.

25 ScreenWest Annual Report 2009-10 3.0 SIGNIFICANT ISSUES IMPACTING SCREENWEST

The screen industry and ScreenWest face a range of signifi cant issues that are – or have the potential to – impact on the achievement of Government desired outcomes, policies and the associated performance targets. Current and emerging issues and trends • The screen industry has seen an increased need for the creation of digital content for multiple platform distribution (i.e. online, mobile phones). This is opening up new markets and opportunities, however, there is strong pressure for ScreenWest to increase its services and support of digital content. • Government funding for the ABC Matched Prime Time Fund was provided as a special two year initiative ($3.2million across 2008-09 and 2009-10). This arrangement has now concluded which will reduce available funding for the screen industry. • The screen industry in Western Australia is expanding in the traditional fi lm and television sectors. This continued growth is resulting in increased pressure on ScreenWest resources and also the ability of production companies to source local skilled crews for the level of production activity. • There are a number of major projects interested in fi lming in Western Australia, creating w more pressure on ScreenWest to fi nd funding to secure them versus losing these productions to other states. A down turn in global international production has meant increased fi nancial competition between the states to secure productions. • The global fi nancial crisis has signifi cantly impacted on the industry worldwide. Some international partners are now facing smaller budgets, however, potentially this creates opportunities for WA producers as international projects may now need to be co-produced to be realised.

4.2 A dditional Key Performance Indicators Information Summary The aim of all ScreenWest initiatives is to increase the output of screen productions made in Western Australia involving signiﬁ cant Western Australian elements. ScreenWest funding may be accessed by industry professionals, production companies, support organisations and individuals.

ScreenWest’s funding criteria are clearly expressed in guidelines and the ScreenWest Terms of Trade, available on the ScreenWest website. The deﬁ nition of ‘Western Australian elements’ includes any combination of project concepts, production personnel, companies and services, and activities that support future production outcomes.

All projects (other than short ﬁ lms) that receive production funding from ScreenWest must be developed for general cinema release or national television transmission. Therefore, prior to the provision of funding, ScreenWest requires evidence in the form of an agreement with a distributor or a broadcaster that this is likely to occur.

As shown in the Key Effectiveness Indicator graph below, the total budget value of Western Australian productions in 2009-10 was $52.58million, achieved with ScreenWest investment of $5.17million.

The value of WA productions has increased by 60% since 2006-07, the start of ScreenWest’s current Strategic Plan. Across the same period, the ratio of ScreenWest investment to the value of production has risen from $4.94 for every dollar invested to $10.18. This demonstrates that Western Australian production companies are signiﬁ cantly leveraging ScreenWest’s funding.

In the graph, the overlaid line charts the number of hours of production. The total number of hours produced in 2009-19 decreased by ﬁ ve hours from the previous year, however, the average value of production per hour of production increased by 25% to $779,091.

‘Value of Production’ refers to the total budgeted cost of feature ﬁ lms, television drama, documentaries and short ﬁ lms produced in Western Australia that have received ScreenWest funding.

‘Value of ScreenWest Investment’ refers to the amount of funding provided by State Treasury and Lotterywest that is invested by ScreenWest during a year.

‘Ratio of ScreenWest Investment to the Value of Production’ compares the Value of Production to the Value of ScreenWest Investment. Calculations are based on actual ﬁ gures and not the rounded data reported in the table.

‘Hours of Production’ means the total number of hours produced in Western Australia on feature fi lms, television drama, documentaries and short fi lms that have received ScreenWest production funding. It does not include Indigenous Community Stories recordings. Year to year variances in the production statistics are affected by assigning a production to a given year on the basis of its production start date, rather than the year in which it was fi nanced or the year in which a majority of production activity took place.

As there is often a substantial time lapse between a ScreenWest commitment and the start of a production, a more useful picture can be obtained by considering two or three years together. It is not safe to draw any conclusion about trends from movements in the data in a single year.

‘Average Value of Production per Hour of Production’ divides the total Value of Production by the total number of hours of production per annum. Calculations are based on actual ﬁ gures and not the rounded data reported in the table. 4.3 Ministerial Directives

ScreenWest Annual Report 2009-10 ScreenWest received no Ministerial directives in 2009-10 with the exception of the Minister’s decisions in relation to the approval of funding recommendations.

Disability Access and Inclusion Plan Outcomes ScreenWest is committed to ensuring that people with disabilities, their families, friends and carers have the same opportunities, rights and responsibilities enjoyed as others, to access its services, information and facilities. As a portfolio agency, ScreenWest utilises the Department of Culture and the Arts Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2007–2011.

The following progress has been made towards the DAIP desired outcomes by ScreenWest and, where directly relevant to ScreenWest, DCA:

Outcome 1: People with disabilities have the same opportunities as other people to access the services of, and any events organised by, the Department.

People with disabilities have the same opportunities as other people to access the services of, ScreenWest Annual Report 2009-10 and any events organised by, ScreenWest.

62 Outcome 2: People with disabilities have the same opportunities as other people to access the buildings and other facilities of the Department.

DCA has commenced auditing of external access to all Department buildings. A list has been developed of required building and facility amendments and the associated costs. Items have been prioritised and some funding approved.

It is anticipated DCA and ScreenWest will be relocating offi ce in the near future. New offi ce building specifi cations will meet the legislative requirements for standards of access and services for people with disabilities.

Outcome 3: People with disabilities receive information from the Department in a format that will enable them to access the information as readily as other people are able to access it.

All new publications follow the State Government Access Guidelines for Information, Services and Facilities. A variety of alternative and accessible formats are available upon request.

Outcome 4: People with disabilities receive the same level and quality of service from the staff of the Department as other people receive from the staff of the Department.

A presentation on disability access and inclusion, including customer service for people with disabilities, has been added to the Culture and Arts Portfolio Induction Program which is attended by all new ScreenWest employees.

Outcome 5: People with disabilities have the same opportunities as other people to make complaints to the Department.

ScreenWest’s complaints process has been reviewed and a new Complaints Handling Procedure and Complaints Records Form created. Staff training is being undertaken to ensure all staff are aware of their responsibilities and can assist a person wishing to make a complaint. The new complaints guideline and form is available on the ScreenWest website.

Outcome 6: People with disabilities have the same opportunities as other people to participate in any public consultation by the Department.

Whenever external consultations or public gatherings have taken place: consultation information has been available in alternative formats upon request where appropriate and information was written in clear, concise language; the invitation process has been accessible; and people with disabilities, their families and carers have been supported to attend through use of access requirements and accessible venues.

Outcome 7: People with disabilities have the same opportunities as other people to seek employment with the Department.

The Recruitment, Selection and Appointment Manual developed by DCA Human Resources include strategies to recruit people with disabilities and to improve access to employment opportunities. ScreenWest Annual Report 2009-10

63 Compliance with Public Sector Standards, Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct Compliance with the Public Sector Standards and Ethical Codes are assessed regularly by the Department’s Human Resources area and the Ofﬁ ce of Public Sector Standards (in the case of a breach claim).

In accordance with section 31 of the Public Sector Management Act 1994 (WA), the following is a report of the extent to which ScreenWest has complied with Public Sector Standards, Western Australian Public Sector Code of Ethics and the Department’s Code of Conduct.

ScreenWest Annual Report 2009-10 2010-11.

64 ScreenWest follows the Department’s Record’s Management policy and utilises its records management system.

During the year ScreenWest staff received training on TRIM, the Department’s information management system. The training was provided by the Department and is supplemented by additional training as required.

The Department Portfolio Induction Program includes information on staff record management responsibilities. 4.7 Government Policy Requirements Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) ScreenWest and the Department of Culture and the Arts is committed to equity and diversity by encouraging the employment of Indigenous Australians, young people, people with disabilities, people from culturally diverse backgrounds and women.

ScreenWest participates as a member of the Culture and the Arts Portfolio Equity and Diversity Reference Group which is responsible for the portfolio wide Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity Management Plan 2010-12. Occupational Safety, Health and Injury Management ScreenWest is committed to ensuring that all employees are safe from injuries and risks to health while they are at work and accepts that employee health and safety is primarily a responsibility of management. Speciﬁ ed policies, work practices and procedures have been prepared to address the hazards and hazardous work processes in the work place. These are available on the Department’s intranet.

An Injury Management Policy, also communicated through the intranet, establishes the Department’s commitment to assist employees to return to work after a work-related injury or work-related disease.

The Occupational Safety and Health Framework has been reviewed and ﬁ nalised with its implementation commencing during the 2009-10 year. This came about as it was considered that the policy and OSH information was outdated and potentially not compliant with all aspects of the revised OSH Act and Public Sector Code of Practice for Occupational Safety and Health.

An employee awareness strategy is currently being considered with Manager Training scheduled for July 2010.

During the year ScreenWest staff had their workstations ergonomically assessed by a qualiﬁ ed occupational therapist and were individually advised on the protocols of safe work station setup and work practices.

Staff were offered the opportunity to have inﬂ uenza injections and also participated in evacuation drills.

All Culture and Arts Portfolio staff, and their immediate family members, has access to the

Department’s Employee Assistance Program. This provides them with 24 hour, seven day a ScreenWest Annual Report 2009-10 week access to a conﬁ dential and professional counselling service.

65 Workers Compensation ScreenWest is committed to adhering to the requirements of the Workers’ Compensation and Injury Management Act 1981 (WA) and the Workers’ Compensation Code of Practice (Injury Management) 2005 (WA) in the event of a work-related injury. Speciﬁ ed policies, work practices and procedures are available for staff on the Department’s intranet.

No workers’ compensation claims arose during 2009-10.
