Director Paul Williams and producer Shannon Swan's portrait of the late blind Indigenous musician Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, 'Gurrumul', won Best Documentary Feature Film at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards (APSA), held in Brisbane last night.
Warwick Thornton, Garth Davis, Joel Edgerton and Anthony Maras have been nominated for best direction in a feature film budgeted at $1 million or more in the 2019 Australian Directors’ Guild Awards.
Thirteen months after 'Mary Magdalene' perished at Australian cinemas, the Biblical saga directed by Garth Davis probably did not have a prayer of getting a warmer reception in the US.
