The Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) has announced that the 2025 AACTA Longford Lyell Award will be presented to the trailblazing team behind Working Dog productions: Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner, Jane Kennedy, Michael Hirsh, and Rob Sitch.
The Longford Lyell Award (formerly known as the Longford Award, and first presented in 1968) is usually given to an individual. It recognises Australian screen practitioners who inspire others through their work, acknowledging their valuable contribution to promoting Australian screen culture and excellence.
