Australia's Jump Street Films has unveiled its 2026 slate for the Jewish Australian Screen Fund, which includes a five-project slate including an untitled historical thriller limited series produced by seven-time Emmy-winning Northern Pictures, three debut feature films, and the first Jewish-themed feature supported through development by Screenwest. The fund, launched by Jump Street director Jamie Bialkower in 2024, aims to promote authentic Jewish Australian storytelling and use screen representation as a tool against antisemitism, while creating pathways for emerging creatives. The inaugural Fellowship will provide $20,000 to one Jewish Australian filmmaker, along with a year of personalised mentorship from Jump St Films. The application for the fellowship closes April 17 and the recipient will be announced on May 11.
