The short film, ‘The Crimson Pointe,’ was produced and directed by Geordie Brown, a Tamworth student, who was assisted by funds from the Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society - Armidale Young Arts program.
This program aims to inspire and support young people to engage in the arts in the New England region.
Practical support is offered by providing small grants to help those up to 26 years of age, in a wide range of activities such as film making, painting and music.
Chairman of Armidale ADFAS Antony Deakin said funding will be considered for a wide range of activities, including support for travel costs to attend arts related activities, providing materials for local workshops or supporting local groups to engage in the arts in their own community.
"We are pleased to announce that funding will be available for young individuals and groups with applications being called early next year,” he said.
“Activities which may attract funding would be those which bring lasting benefit to young people, particularly those who may not otherwise have the opportunity to participate.”
“As our funds are limited, grants will be determined in the light of other submissions and funds available each year.”
Applications for the next round of grants will be called for early in 2016.
The premiere screening of ‘The Crimson Pointe’ will be at 5.40pm, prior to the ADFAS Armidale monthly lecture at the Hoskins Centre at The Armidale School.
