Quicksilver Production Fund

Grant Description

The Quicksilver Production Fund 2025, administered by The Mercury and supported by the South Australian Film Corporation with additional support from Country Arts SA, provides six grants of $25,000 each to early-career and emerging South Australian filmmakers. The program supports the professional development of creative talent by funding short-form screen projects of up to 12 minutes, showcasing authentic and original artistic visions. With a total pool of $150,000 plus in-kind production and mentoring support, the initiative particularly champions First Nations and regional filmmakers, and strongly encourages participation from underrepresented groups in the South Australian screen industry.
