and Communication is pleased to announce the 2012 AFIRC Research Fellowship.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b> </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The AFI Research Collection is a non-lending, specialist
film and television industry resource open to the public. The Collection houses
a range of books, journals, scripts, directories, reports, and festival
catalogues, with strengths in screen history, theory and Australian cinema.<b></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Fellow will have full access to the Collection under the
guidance of the AFIRC Library staff, and use of an equipped office. The
fellowship will contribute up to $4000 (AUD) towards travel costs for research
projects between 2 and 6 weeks. 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. </p>
