Southern Sitara - Sitara meaning "star" in Hindi, is a unique new initiative celebrating the synergy between Australia and South Asia, one of the world's richest and oldest storytelling cultures.

We support Australian feature films with South Asian connections, championing diversity both in front and behind the camera.

Through a combination of development funding, production investment, producer offset loans, and tailored financial solutions, Southern Sitara will empower talented film makers, enabling their stories to shine from script to screen and enchant a global audience.

Our approach blends creative vision with commercial clarity. By leveraging government incentives, smart financing, and strategic partnerships, we reduce risk and enhance the potential for strong returns, ensuring that great stories are also great investments.

Our mission is to reach one of the largest, most diverse, and film-loving audiences in the world with bold, distinctively Australian voices, in a way that's creatively fulfilling and commercially rewarding.

Empowering Creators. Enabling Investment. Enchanting Audiences.
