documentary

Screenwest and the State Library are offering up to $25,000 production funding for early to mid-career filmmaking teams to produce a short documentary based on historical collection items.

Five mini documentaries creatively use the State Library's heritage collection items – including letters, diaries, journals, photographs and oral recordings – to bring to life and share uniquely Western Australian stories from our State's history.

The State Library partnered with Screenwest to deliver the WA Reflections initiative. WA filmmakers created five short documentaries and a VR experience to transform and showcase stories from the Library's collections.
