The Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) has revealed the nominees for next month's awards, while announcing screen journalist David Tiley as the winner of the Stanley Hawes Award for 2022.
Justin Kurzel’s 'Nitram' dominated the feature film categories at Wednesday's AACTA ceremony, winning eight awards, while the ABC’s 'The Newsreader' led the pack for television with five.
The late David Gulpilil will receive AACTA's highest honour, the Longford Lyell Award, for his outstanding contribution to Australian cinema on Wednesday.
Legendary Indigenous actor David Dalaithngu, known for his roles in 'Walkabout', 'Storm Boy', and 'Ten Canoes', has died aged 68.
Six films are set to vie for this year's AACTA Award for Best Documentary, with voting for the winner open from today until August 2.
From 'Walkabout', 'Storm Boy', 'Crocodile Dundee' and 'Rabbit Proof Fence', to 'Australia', 'The Proposition' and 'Charlie's Country', the work of David Gulpilil forms a throughline in Australian modern cinema. Knowing that his career has touched Australians across generations, distributor ABCG Films wanted to ensure documentary 'My Name Is Gulpilil' was accessible and could reach audiences across the country.
Integral to the telling of so many screen stories, David Gulpilil, now nearing the end of his life, generously shares his own story in 'My Name is Gulpilil'.
Actor Kelton Pell is the first Western Australian to receive the Screen Legend accolade from CinefestOZ in the event's 12-year history.
