SPA Awards 2024: Screen Diversity & Inclusion nominees

Six finalists have been announced for the annual Screen Diversity & Inclusion Award at the 22nd Annual SPA Awards.

This year’s finalists are

Erotic Stories produced by Lingo Pictures,
The First Inventors produced by Ronde Media,
In Our Blood produced by Hoodlum Entertainment,
Limbo produced by Bunya Productions,
Marungka Tjalatjunu (Dipped in Black) produced by Switch Productions and Other Pictures,
Strait to the Plate (S2) produced by Lone Star Production Group.

The SDIN Award recognises an Australian-based project, producer and/or production company and/or screen organisation that has made a significant contribution through excellence or impact to diversity and inclusion either on or offscreen within the Australian screen industry.

“We are thrilled with the entries for this year’s SDIN Award. The shortlist, including The First Inventors, Marungka Tjalatjunu (Dipped in Black), Erotic Stories, Limbo, and In Our Blood, tell bold new Australian stories on screen. They inspire, educate, and entertain us, and challenge stereotypes along the way. We are pleased with the strong pool of contenders and at the important strides made by network members in giving under-represented groups the opportunity to tell their own stories and see themselves reflected on screen.” said Olivia Khoo, SDIN Co-Chair.

“The SDIN is pleased to announce the SDIN Award finalists and thank the Awards Jury for their time in selecting projects that actively push the boundaries of representation on our screens for under-represented and historically excluded groups, as well as strive towards better industry practices off-screen, too. We look forward to celebrating the winner of the SDIN Award at Screen Forever 38,” said Loani Arman, SDIN Co-Chair.

The winner will be announced on Thursday, 21 March at Screen Forever.
