Established to highlight the cinematic talent boiling away out west, The WA Screen Culture Awards embrace outstanding innovation, independent spirit and contributions in contemporary short, feature and documentary filmmaking, computer games, VR, AR, gallery-based moving image, installations, projections and other intersections with screen and moving image forms.
The Awards will take place at the closing night of the 2020 Revelation Film Festival on December 13 (after its COVID-enforced online festival earlier this year, the Revelation Perth International Film Festival will be back “in the flesh” from December 2-13) at Luna Cinemas, Leederville.
Keeping it fair and non-parochial, the jury will consist of a range of out-of-town screen industry practitioners, with entries opening September 1, 2020.
Films selected as finalists will be eligible to screen via Revelation’s unique online screening portal to national and international viewers for a special audience prize.
Some of these films will also be selected to screen in the physical festival.
The WA Screen Culture Awards are a revival of acknowledgement for the WA screen industry, which has been without an awards platform since 2015. “The ability to bring all these convergent screen-forms together around what is widely regarded as one of the most individual film programs in the country, is a natural progression for us and brings together all these elements of support that we’ve been working on for so long,” says Revelation’s Director Richard Sowada.
