On Monday 2nd February 2015, the Film Critics Circle of Australia (FCCA)  announced the nominations for the 2014 FCCA Awards. The nominations for Best Film of 2014 are  The Babadook (producers Kristina Ceyton and Kristian Moliere), Charlie’s Country (producers Rolf de Heer, Peter Djigirr and Nils Erik Nielsen), Predestination (producers Paddy McDonald, Tim McGahan, Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig), Tracks (producers Iain Canning and Emile Sherman) and The Water Diviner (producers Troy Lum, Andrew Mason and Keith Rodger).

Five nominations have been awarded to Charlie’s Country, Felony, The Rover and Tracks. The awards have been spread over twelve films that were released across Australia, during the 2014 calendar year.

 

FCCA President and ABC Radio host Rod Quinn said, “This year’s nominees show the diversity of the Australian film industry – from a scary movie set in a haunted house, to a modern day epic, and stories that cover our entire continent. The filmmakers nominated include the biggest names in Australian film and many talented newcomers.”

 

The 2014 FCCA Awards Ceremony will be held  from 6.30pm on Tuesday 10th March 2015 at Paddington/Woollahra RSL, Oxford Street, Paddington, NSW. Limited tickets are available to purchase, and this industry event, is only for members and their guests.   During the ceremony there will be a tribute to three eminent members of the FCCA who have recently left their long term positions … Evan Williams who has retired from his position as film critic for The Australian, and Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton who have departed their 28 year television careers as hosts of SBS TV’s The Movie Show and ABC TV’s At The Movies.

 

The FCCA is grateful to Awards sponsors FOXTEL, UNIVERSAL PICTURES, ACS, AGSC, FILMINK, KARMEE COFFEE, AUSTRALIAN WRITERS IN PRINT and CURRENCY PRESS.

Annual Awards for Australian Film  

The FCCA is the national professional body of film critics and film journalists in Australia.

A major public activity of the FCCA is the presentation of the annual FCCA Awards for Australian Film, covering feature films and documentaries. These prestigious awards are unique in that they have always had strong support from across the film industry and, for over twenty-five years, have reflected its achievements by recognising and celebrating the creative input of members of the Australian production sector.

The FCCA awards are voted on by all FCCA members and constitute a significant indicator of a film’s success. These are truly independent film awards, voted on solely by film critics, not by the industry or by the film-going public, and have become highly respected for recognising and rewarding originality and excellence in all categories.
