- Australia sends its first-ever delegation to the EAVE‑run Ties That Bind program in Udine, Italy.
- Sheree Ramage shepherded the delegation, bringing two Asian‑Australian filmmakers to the training session.
- Ana Tiwary and fellow filmmaker Katrina Irawati Graham are developing a slate of co‑production projects spanning Indonesia, Myanmar, South Korea, Nepal, France and Germany.
- EAVE runs Ties That Bind, a 15‑year‑old initiative that has placed alumni at Cannes, Berlinale, Venice and Locarno.
- Screen Australia backs the delegation, with additional support from Screen Queensland.
- Ties That Bind’s Udine edition gathers 15 participants for meetings with buyers, financiers and co‑production partners from Europe and Asia.
Why it matters: Australian filmmakers gain direct access to European and Asian buyers, financiers and co‑production partners through the Udine program, leveraging existing treaties to boost their presence at festivals such as Cannes and Venice; the move also deepens Australia’s cultural ties with Asia and Europe.
