After graduating from AFTRS in 2017 filmmaker Imogen McCluskey's career is taking off, with one feature and several shorts under her belt and multiple projects in development.
Some 34 feature films will compete for nominations for this year's AACTA Awards, and the longlist covers diverse range of titles, from box office earners like 'Top End Wedding' and 'Storm Boy', through to the critically lauded 'The Nightingale' and micro budget indies like 'Suburban Wildlife'.
Short-form storytelling is having a moment, and Sydney filmmaker Hannah Lehmann is capitalising on it.
Sydney Film Festival has announced its audience awards, with best narrative feature awarded to Samuel Van Grinsven's 'Sequin in a Blue Room' and best documentary to Selina Miles' 'Martha: A Picture Story' - both Aussie films.
A coming-of-age film set in Sydney’s outer suburbs, ‘Suburban Wildlife’ explores the struggles of friendship, love, sexuality and independence faced by young adults.
