The Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) announced the winners of the 3rd Annual AIDC Awards at ACMI, Melbourne, last night.
The winners, as selected by the AIDC AIDC Awards Jury, are:
JURY STATEMENT: ‘Philippa Bateman’s Wash My Soul in the River’s Flow celebrates the talents and carries the passions of two of Australia’s most revered and beloved musicians – Archie Roach (AC) and Ruby Hunter – through a performance of their sublime Kura Tungar: Songs from the River song cycle. Elegant, confident, and intimate to its magnetic subjects, Bateman’s film so impressively captures a setting and a stage where music compels the story of their lives, and where it stands proudly in resistance against the injustices of our history.
