2012 South Australian Screen Awards

The local movie and television industry turned out in force for the event, eager to celebrate a strong year in South Australian filmmaking.

Proudly presenting the award for Best Short Film, South Australian Film Corporation CEO Richard Harris said that other states "look to South Australia" and its film industry.
