Wide Angle Tasmania is an independent, for-purpose, not-for-profit organisation that has encouraged, developed and supported the Tasmanian screen sector since 2003. Operating statewide, Wide Angle’s vision is a vibrant, diverse and renewable Tasmanian screen culture. This culture is characterised by the production of screen works that express the stories, talent and perspectives of Tasmanians and a screen community that is regularly replenished by the inclusion of new practitioners, new ideas and new approaches to production. Wide Angle Tasmania bridges the fluid space where our services are used for education, employment and creative expression. We recognise that the screen sector is in a state of disruption and that traditional educational and employment pathways do not fit all people. Our programmes are designed to provide alternative pathways for our community, and result in innovative and enterprising outcomes for participants.
