Scholars and artists in residence (SAR)

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) invites proposals from people who wish to conduct high level research into the national audiovisual collection. This research may take various forms: an academic may want to write a book or produce a website; a creative artist may wish to create a film, musical composition, dance piece or some other artwork; a curator may wish to create an exhibition; historians, scientists and policymakers may wish to delve into Australia’s audiovisual past.

Scholars and Artists in Residence (SAR) are based in the NFSA’s Residence in Canberra, with a fully equipped workspace in the residential quarters. While they do not receive stipends or travel allowances, they have full access to the library, mentored access to the collection, participate in NFSA events and activities and work closely with NFSA curators and technical experts.

Announcement of the closing date for applications for 2013 SAR Fellowships will be announced in July 2012.
