The National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) has established the Centre for Scholarly and Archival Research (CSAR) to encourage and facilitate research into Australia’s historic and contemporary moving image and recorded sound culture. The NFSA offers Research Fellowships for established researchers and audiovisual practitioners with a record of significant achievement. Senior academics, scholars, writers, filmmakers, artists and archival professionals from Australia and overseas are encouraged to apply. The fellowships involve a residency at the NFSA in Canberra, with accommodation supplied. Fellows can use the NFSA’s collections to stimulate or otherwise inform an academic publication, a new sound or moving image work, or a live event.

Applications are welcomed at any time and guidelines can be found on the website.
