[ecrea] 2014 AFIRC Research Fellowship – Call for Applications

The AFIRC in partnership with the Screen Cultures Lab at RMIT 
University’s School of Media and Communication is pleased to announce 
the 2014 AFIRC Research Fellowship.

The AFI Research Collection (AFIRC) is a specialist film and television 
industry research library open to the public. The Collection houses 
unique materials not available for film scholarship elsewhere and a 
range of books, journals, scripts, directories, reports, and festival 
catalogues. It is particularly strong in screen history, theory and 
Australian cinema.

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.

The Fellow will have access to the Collection under the guidance of the 
AFIRC Library staff. The Fellowship will provide a stipend of up to 
$5000 (AUD). 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.

Application forms can be found at here and for general information on 
the fellowship look here.

For further information about the Fellowship, contact Dr Stephen 
Gaunson, School of Media and Communication, (stephen.gaunson /at/ rmit.edu.au)

Closing date for applications is Friday 25 July 2014
