Filmmaker and poet Jazz Money will receive $25,000 to create a new audiovisual piece for the National Film and Sound Archive (Nfsa) after being chosen for the institution’s Re/Vision Commission.
The announcement follows an expression of interest campaign for the government-supported project, which involves an Indigenous filmmaker collaborating with Nfsa to offer a contemporary interpretation of Australia’s audio-visual heritage, within the UK/Australia Season cultural exchange theme of ‘Who Are We Now?’.
Money will now work closely with Nfsa curatorial and technical experts on a piece titled Winhanganha – a Wiradjuri word that loosely translates to ‘remember, know, think’ in English.
The Sydney-based artist, who received the State Library of Queensland’s David Unaipon Award and the Australian Council for the Arts’ First Nations Emerging Career Award in 2020, said the film would provide a “revisioning of Australian audiovisual history that centralises dance, performance, orality, gathering and protest”.

Come October, Sydney Theatre Company executive director Patrick McIntyre will begin work as the new CEO of the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (Nfsa).
McIntyre succeeds Jan Müller, who resigned last December to return to the Netherlands to be with family.
Prior to his role at the Stc, which he has held for 11 years, McIntyre worked across various organisations within the cultural sector. These include Sydney Film Festival, The Australian Ballet, the Sydney Dance Company and the Sydney Opera House Trust.
Nfsa chair Gabrielle Trainor said that McIntyre would bring to his new role a deep appreciation of Australian storytelling, a love of film and music culture, leadership skills and entrepreneurship, as well as a record of growing connection with audiences.
The latter point is notable, as the Nfsa has undergone significant transformation in recent years, driven by a desire to be relevant and accessible to both industry and the general public alike.

Rush’s lawyer says Sydney Theatre Company knew of accusation for 18 months but did not investigate
Sydney Theatre Company did nothing for 18 months after an actor had an off-the-record conversation in a bar claiming colleague Geoffrey Rush had behaved inappropriately towards her, a judge has been told.
It didn’t investigate or take any other action until Stc executive director Patrick McIntyre was approached by a reporter one-and-a-half years later, Rush’s lawyer Sue Chrysanthou said on Wednesday.
