Screen Producers Awards 2021: Documentary nominees

Screen Producers Australia Awards have announced finalists for two more categories, spanning an extended, two-year period due to COVID-19.

Finalists in Documentary Program or Series Production of the Year and Feature Documentary Production of the Year are open for member voting.

“Over the past 18 months documentary productions from our members have been a real talking point for many Australians, with many turning to the genre to learn more about Australian culture, history and current affairs. We at SPA are extremely proud of the thought-provoking content coming from our documentary producers, and the dialogue these important stories encourage,” said SPA CEO, Matthew Deaner.

“I congratulate each of our members who are finalists in the categories open for voting today and look forward to celebrating your achievements at Screen Forever in March 2022.”
