The Best Dramatic Feature award went to Australian filmmaker Beck Cole (Luritja Warramungu) for her debut feature Here I Am. It tells of a woman's reconnecting with her estranged family after being released from prison.
An Australian film also captured the Alanis Obomsawin Award for Best Documentary which went to The Tall Man, directed by Tony Krawitz and produced by Darren Dale (Bunjalung). It examines the case of Cameron Doomadgee whose death in an Australian prison cell ignited racial tensions across the country.
The short film Amaqqut Nunaat (The Country of Wolves) by director Neil Christopher and producer Louise Flaherty came away with two awards. It won for Best Canadian Short Drama but also picked up the Cynthia-Lickers Sage Award for Emerging Talent. It was the opening short animated film that played with the opening night film On the Ice.
The Best Short Drama prize was awarded to Nicholas Greene for Salar. Terril Calder's The Gift picked up the Best Experimental Award.
