Screen NSW, formerly known as the New South Wales Film and Television Office, or FTO, and before that the New South Wales Film Corporation, is a brand name that is part of

screen industry in the state of New South Wales. It was previously an agency in its own right, but since 1 April 2017 has been part of Create NSW
. The name "Screen NSW" ceased to exist within Create NSW between that date and September 2019, when a restructure resurrected the brand. As of July 2022, Kyas Hepworth is the Head of Screen NSW.

History

The New South Wales Film Corporation was established as a

New South Wales Film and Television Office[1] (known as the FTO[2]
).

On 5 June 2009, the FTO announced a name change to Screen NSW, to reflect the age of digital media, and from 1 July 2009 Screen NSW was transferred from the Department of Arts, Sport and Recreation to the Department of Industry and Investment. From 4 April 2011, when the department name was changed, Screen NSW became a branch of the Department of Trade and Investment, Regional Infrastructure and Services.[2]

The agency was led by chief executive Courtney Gibson from November 2015. Under the old structure, the chief executive was responsible to the executive director of Arts NSW, who was in turn responsible to the

Department of Justice. The agency previously advised the Minister for the Arts.[citation needed
]

On 1 April 2017, Screen NSW was amalgamated with Arts NSW to form Create NSW.[3] The Screen NSW banner was removed, CEO Courtney Gibson left the role, and Michael Brealey, then acting executive director of Arts NSW, became CEO of the new agency.[4]

Create NSW fell within the Arts, Screen and Culture Division of the

Department of Premier and Cabinet[8] headed by Deputy Secretary, Community Engagement, Clare Foy.[7]

In September 2019, a restructuring of the leadership team of Create NSW led to the resurrection of the Screen NSW brand, and Grainne Brunsdon appointed head of that team, which remains part of Create NSW.[7]

After Harwin's resignation on 10 April 2020,[9][10] the Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, took over the arts portfolio.[11]

In July 2022, respected screen and arts executive Kyas Hepworth was appointed Head of Screen NSW.[12][13]
