Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof has won this year's $60,000 Sydney Film Prize for 'There Is No Evil', beating out 11 other Sydney Film Festival (SFF) competition films.
Jeff Daniels' 'Television Event' follows the production and aftermath of the controversial 1983 made-for-TV movie, 'The Day After' – which imagined the impact of a nuclear attack on the USA.
Sydney Film Festival has announced the films to compete for the Documentary Australia Foundation (DAF) Award for Australian Documentary, with a 12-strong line-up to mark the prize's 12th anniversary.
Fourteen documentary projects - spanning a feature film about Shane Warne, a VR project that traverses the historical expedition of Ernest Shackleton, to a short about Australia's femme and butch scene in the 1950s - will share in $2.1 million of production funding from Screen Australia.
