On the day the filmmaker was set to receive the 2012 Stanley Hawes award, she drove past a timely sign outside an Rsl that proclaimed "Julia wins, now for the Oscars". It was, of course, referrring to the Federal Labor party's decision to back prime minister Julia Gillard over rival Kevin Rudd.
In her opening night address at the Australian International Documentary Conference (Aidc) in Adelaide, the other Julia . Overton . acknowledged her own peers.
"In this company, someone who's been known most recently as bureaucrat is a bit of an anomaly as the recipient of this award," she said. "I'm here because of the inspired artistry of all the people I've ever worked with.".
Previous winners of the Stanley Hawes award . which recognises independent documentary filmmakers who have made an outstanding contribution to the Australian industry . include Rachel Perkins and Bob Connolly.

Filmmaker Julia Overton will receive the 2012 Aidc Stanley Hawes Award at this month's Australian International Documentary Conference in Adelaide.
The Aidc said Overton's long tenure at government funding agencies was characterised by humanity rather than bureaucracy, and she never viewed guidelines as rules.
"She will go to great lengths to assist individual filmmakers and promote the documentary genre as a whole, and has opened more doors for documentaries, both in Australia and to the rest of the world, then anyone in the business," the Aidc said in a statement.
The co-chair of the Aidc board, Mitzi Goldman, said Overton was a "powerhouse" and her "imprint on Australian documentary has been immeasurable".
Overton has worked for the Australian Film Commission, the Film Finance Corporation, and Screen Australia, and has also produced feature films (Cut, Spider and Rose, Fistful of Flies, Until the End of the World, Travelling North), TV dramas (Aftershocks,...
