2017 AFCA AWARDS

---

​Following previous rounds of selections - as voted by members -  the Australian Film Critics Association has finalised its nominations for the annual AFCA AWARDS.

Last year's awards were populated by an impressive line up of local films, and dominated by MAD MAX FURY ROAD and THE DRESSMAKER.  This year's line up looks to be as equally tough whereby the selectors have their work cut out for them.

It's an honor to be part of the selection process and we are thrilled to share the nominations with you. The awards will be held in March at the Astor Theatre.
