Audience Award Winners

Congratulations to this year's audience award winner, the audacious local debut Pure Scum.  

PURE SCUM
Audience Award Winner
"Australian cinema at it's finest! What a phenomenal movie. I was on the edge of my seat from the opening scene. A huge shout out to the actors who played Jesse and Ayden. Their performances were amazing! Such a well made movie."

SALT ALONG THE TONGUE
Audience Award Runner-Up
"More of this please. Quite a perfect film, wonderfully structured; vivid and soft, timeless and so contemporary. Quietly unfurling the plot, through visuals, background details, and conversations; Salt Along the Tongue felt sedately comfortable. Will watch again when I get the chance as a double feature with The Love Witch."

A GRAND MOCKERY
Audience Award Runner-Up
"Incredibly risky, weirdly psychedelic, and self-aware in its filmmaking techniques.I appreciate how far Australian cinema has come with the directors being able to bring their true creative vision with no disruption to our screens."
