Press Release:
Now in its tenth year, the Inside Film Awards continues to celebrate the success of Australian filmmakers across categories including Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Documentary.

Responsible for the staging and lighting for several U2 world tours, Ramus has also worked with Queen, David Bowie, James Brown and REM. Says Ramus, “I’m excited by the freedom and creative spirit celebrated by the IF Awards. I’ve always viewed good films as illuminative, and I look forward to approaching this event from that perspective”.

Leading the way with ten nominations, including Best Feature Film is The Black Balloon. Joining it in the race for Best Feature Film are independent films Men’s Group and Son of a Lion.
