A Matter of Strategy: Gaming and Government Subsidies in Australia

If film and television are eligible for high levels of funding and subsidy, why not games? John Nicoll investigates.

Nicoll discusses The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Michael Apted, 2010) as a case study, and interviews Tom Crago, president of the Game Developers' Association of Australia (GDAA) and CEO of major Australian game developer Tantalus.

Nicoll addresses questions of culture and of economics, and examines the landscape of subsidies and tax credits in Canada.
