[csaa-forum] 2014 AFIRC Research Fellowship – Call for Applications

[Stephen Gaunson]

The AFIRC in partnership with the Screen Cultures Lab at RMIT University’s
School of Media and Communication is pleased to announce the 2014 AFIRC
Research Fellowship.

The AFI Research Collection (AFIRC) is a specialist film and television
industry research library open to the public. The Collection houses unique
materials not available for film scholarship elsewhere and a range of
books, journals, scripts, directories, reports, and festival catalogues. It
is particularly strong in screen history, theory and Australian cinema.

The AFIRC invites proposals from scholars wishing to undertake research
that utilises the Collection’s resources and promotes the AFIRC through a
published outcome. This research may take the form of a book, a journal
article, a film or a digital project. The Fellowship is designed to
showcase the unique holdings of the AFIRC, which include special
collections from Henry Mayer, Wayne Levy and Crawford Productions, as well
as film stills, newspaper clippings and other significant artefacts from
the Australian film and television industry.

The Fellow will have access to the Collection under the guidance of the
AFIRC Library staff. The Fellowship will provide a stipend of up to $5000
(AUD). The Fellow will be required to make a presentation of their work in
progress to the School of Media and Communication towards the conclusion of
their Fellowship.
