As we bring the screening of High Tide on 23 May at The Twyford we were delighted to see Screen Producers Australia’s announcement -
‘Today we're proud to announce that veteran producer and industry trailblazer Antony I. Ginnane will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 23rd Annual SPA Awards, taking place at The Star Gold Coast on Thurs, 8 May 2025.

From cult titles like Patrick (1978), Turkey Shoot (1980) and Screamers (1995) to classics like High Tide (1988) and The Lighthorsemen (1988) to the award-winning Last Dance (2011), Ginnane’s body of work has left an indelible mark on both Australian and international screens.
"I discovered cinema in my teens, and it’s been a lifelong love affair. Australian cinema now has a prominent and well-deserved place on the world’s screens. We should all be proud,” said Antony I. Ginnane.’

Far South Film would like to thanks Lis Shelley for all her hard work as Festival Director for the Far South Film Festival over the last 5 years.
Lis guided the festival through some very tricky years, through multiple Covid lock downs and last minuet venue changes. Lis was able to deliver outstanding festivals whether online, hybrid online/live and live festivals.
But as one chapter for the FSFF closes another begins! We are so excited to announce our incoming Festival Director, Mahamati for our 6th festival, on 16th August.
Head here for more info and to submit a film -
