The Queensland Film Corporation (QFC) was a government-funded film production company that existed in the state of Queensland, Australia, in the 1980s.
The Queensland Film Corporation was established by the Queensland Film Industry Development Act 1977 and funded by the Queensland Government[1] Its original brief was not to produce films but to encourage the development of the film industry in Queensland.[2]
At one stage it was run by Allan Callaghan, former press officer to Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen who was sent to gaol for misappropriating government funds.[3][4]
The organisation was eventually wound up in October 1987, having spent $5.4 million on various projects.[5][6]
The Queensland government later formed Film Queensland and the Pacific Film and TV Corporation.[citation needed]
As of 2022[update] the funding body is Screen Queensland, which owns the Screen Queensland Studios.[7]
