Find out more about the recipients, and view their successful pitch videos below.
We would like to especially thank our Directors' Circle for their contribution and support of these projects.
Alice Gilbert
Alice is a driven and versatile self-taught filmmaker. She has written, directed, produced, edited and acted/presented in a range of amateur short film and video projects. Alice has particular experience with creating comedy sketches, parody music videos and other comedic videos. She is also interested in building her skills in stop-motion animation. Alice identifies as Aboriginal and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and is passionate about promoting and championing minority voices wherever possible.
Jacqueline Dixon
Jacqueline purchased her first camera when travelling to see family in Cambodia, not realising how valuable those images would later be to her. It wasn't until she was home, feeling the heartache of missing her family, that looking through these images brought so many feelings of comfort, nostalgia and joy. This is where her passion for capturing moments and stories was created, and this is a sentiment that has always inspired her work. Since then, Jacqueline has grown a career in photography and videography in Melbourne, and aims to capture emotion and human connection in all the work she creates.
Jenn Tran
Jenn is an emerging experimental animator and artist from Naarm. She is a recent graduate of a BFA in Animation at The Victorian College of the Arts and considers her work the nexus between analogue animation and documentary film essays. She also takes huge pride to be in the linage of Vietnamese-Australian writers and filmmakers that work today.
