Claire Bishop shines with Finding Jia, earning Gold in the Short Film category and taking home the prestigious Milton Ingerson Award for Best Entry of the Year — a remarkable double win!

Patrick Prior, last year’s SA ACS Emerging Cinematographer, continues his rise with Edith, a 2024 Gold Award winner in the Short Films category. 

Michael Tessari takes Gold in the Feature Film (Budget under $3m) category for With or Without You, a powerful project backed by the 2024 Adelaide Film Festival Investment Fund.

From Los Angeles to Adelaide, Judd Overton returns home with not one but two Gold Awards — for the Amazon Prime hit Totally Killer (Feature Film, Budget over $3m) and the thought-provoking documentary Future Council.

📺 Rounding out the lineup is Aaron Gully ACS, presenting Honk in the Fog (Episode 4, Series 2 of Beep and Mort), produced by Windmill Pictures and filmed at Adelaide Studios.
