'Burning' takes an unflinching look at the 2019-2020 Black Summer bushfires and delves into the catastrophe that unfolded across Australia, while shining a light on the global issue of climate change.
Selected from eight nominees, the $10,000 cash prize will be presented to the Amazon Australian Original for deepening the knowledge and awareness of the impact of the global climate emergency.
Eva Orner's 'Burning', about Australia's devastating 'Black Summer', will make its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
