Screen Producers Australia (SPA) commends the outstanding work of our members that were crowned the winners at the 2021 Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards (AACTAs) across the television, online, film, documentary and short film categories.
The 2021 AACTA Awards, presented by Foxtel, honour excellence in screen production and acknowledge the driving forces that shape our profession.
SPA members were recognised last night for their involvement in bringing 22 Australian productions to fruition which collectively took home 40 ACCTA Awards.
SPA CEO, Matthew Deaner, said:
“We’re extremely proud of our members who were celebrated at the AACTA Awards last night. Australian stories on the big and small screen have brought comfort and solace to audiences during an unprecedented time.
