Aftrs' head of documentary, Rachel Landers, is a documentary maker with a long list of credits that include The Lost Tribe, A Northern Town, The Snowman and The Inquisition.

Xavier Dolan’s French Canadian film Les Amours Imaginaires (Heartbeats) has won the third Sydney Film Festival competition.
Australian teenage film Wasted on the Young (dir. Ben C. Lucas) and Russian drama Kak Ya Provyol Etim Letom (How I Ended This Summer – dir. Aleksei Popogrebsky) received honourable mentions from the jury, headed by producer Jan Chapman.
Chapman said Heartbeats had won because of its witty and insightful script and strikingly playful use of cinematic language.
“The jury found Heartbeats to be a boldly truthful and compassionate observation of one of the great crippling foibles of human nature – the hopeless crush,” she said. The filmmakers will receive the $60,000 prize.
The Australian documentary prize went to The Snowman (dir. Juliet Lamont, prod. Rachel Landers and Dylan Blowen).
The short film categories were won by The Kiss (Best Live Action Short, dir. Ashlee Page, prod. Sonya Humphrey), Deeper than Yesterday (Best Director for Ariel Kleiman,...
