We acknowledge and respect the Traditional Owners of lands across Australia, their Elders, Ancestors, cultures and heritage, and recognise the continuing sovereignties of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations.

We respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which the ACTF is based and pay our respect to their Elders past and present.

We are honoured to have the opportunity to learn from the oldest cultural storytellers in the world and seek to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practitioners to share their rich culture and perspectives with children in Australia and around the world via stories on screen.

Congratulations to the factual adventure series Bushwhacked! (Mint Pictures) on receiving a Gold Remi, playground comedy Little Lunch (Gristmill) for their Silver Remi and teen drama Ready For This (Blackfella Films/Werner Film Productions) for a Bronze Remi.

The Chicago International Television Awards were also announced last week. Bushwhacked! was awarded a Silver Plaque and Little Lunch a Certificate of Merit, both in the Children’s Series category.

To round off the week the hugely popular mockumentary comedy series Little Lunch was nominated for a Banff World Media Festival Rockie Award in the Children and Youth Fiction category. Wishing the best of luck to the producers at Gristmill for the awards ceremony, which will be held on the 13^th of June.
