Sydney Film Festival Awards 2024
The Sydney Film Festival (SFF) has unveiled the winners of its 2024 awards, including the $7000 Event Cinemas Rising Talent Award presented to a NSW short film screenwriter. Over 70 countries around the globe have experienced these innovative films and programs; each recognized for their innovation, creativity and high impact.
Many of these award-winning films have been chosen for selection at Cannes Film Festival and/or won major US film festivals or awards. Dan Slepian won last year the Screenplay Award for “Murderball”, while “Life After Life”, which documents America’s AIDS epidemic, won Sundance’s Documentary Grand Jury Prize.
SFF awards are judged by an esteemed panel of industry professionals, comprising producers, directors and writers. As well as providing an opportunity for award-winning new Australian films to be showcased publicly for industry scrutiny, the SFF awards program also gives emerging filmmakers an excellent platform from which their work may be noticed by the industry.
SFF hosts more than just films; it also gives out awards and prizes that honour Australian history’s great namesakes, such as the Sydney Literary Medal (established 1854). This honorary prize recognizes an undergraduate student at University of Sydney writing an essay of general interest to society.
