“This year’s nominees yet again highlight the diversity of subject matter from big international stories to intimate dramas and quirky comedies, they are all here on our screens. And this year the Australian documentaries are especially strong with two in particular about the resilience of two sporting champions. It has been a very interesting year for Australian film.”
