Inside Film Awards
The Inside Film Awards (now known as the IF Awards) is an annual awards ceremony and broadcast platform for the Australian film industry, developed by the creators of Inside Film Magazine, Stephen Jenner and David Barda, and originally produced for television by Australian Producer Andrew Dillon. The awards are determined by a national audience poll, which differentiates it from the Australian AACTA Awards, which are judged by industry professionals. The event is held in November each year, and is broadcast on SBS television and showtime movie channels. The IF Awards were first held in 1999, and until 2006 were also known as the Lexus Inside Film Awards, in recognition of its principal sponsor Lexus. Sponsorship since then has included multiple broadcast and event partners, with the new naming rights partner for 2011 being Jameson Irish Whiskey. In 2011, the Jameson IF Awards were held in November in Sydney again. As of 2012, the IF Awards have been 'on hold'. 2007 nominations The IF Award for Best Feature Film The Home Song Stories – directed by Tony Ayres and produced by Michael McMahon & Liz Watts The Jammed – directed by Dee McLachlan and produced by Sally Ayre–Smith, Andrea Buck & Dee McLachlan Lucky Miles – directed by Michael James Rowland and produced by Jo Dyer & Lesley Dyer The Animal Logic IF Award for Best Director Tony Ayres – The Home Song Stories Matthew Saville – Noise Kriv Stenders – Boxing Day The Queensland Events Corporation IF Award for Best Actor Brendan Cowell – Noise Richard Green – Boxing Day Joel Lok – The Home Song Stories The In Style IF Award for Best Actress Brenda Blethyn – Clubland Joan Chen – The Home Song Stories Veronica Sywak –The Jammed The Kodak IF Award for Best Cinematography The Home Song Stories – Nigel Bluck The Jammed – Peter Falk Lucky Miles – Geoff Burton, ASC.
