TIFF Awards: Aussie Aussie Aussie!

More reviews to come - I promise - but a huge congratulations is in order. For the first time this year, Midnight Madness films had their own People's Choice award. The runner up? Vampire dystopia flick Daybreakers, from Brisbane's Spierig Brothers. The first prize? The Loved Ones, an Australian horror film from writer/director Sean Byrne, which came from nowhere to wow everybody.

It's good to feel proud of Australian genre cinema.

  1. I know it's not your sort of film, but Mao's Last Dancer took first runner up prize in the audience choice awards. Just continues the amazing year of Australian film.
