Dedicated to the support of emerging filmmakers in the Darwin region, SPARK is deployed throughout the Top End’s dry season. After a series of workshops, five short film projects were selected by a panel of award-winning screen industry professionals. Each project received a seed fund to go into production, and a distribution package with DIFF and the NTTFF (NT Travelling Film Festival). Launched in 2017 by DIFF, SPARK is the first program of its kind in the NT.
