The Western Australian screen industry is as diverse and as vibrant as it’s ever been across all elements – and we believe this alone is cause for recognition and celebration.

In providing that platform, the WA Screen Culture Awards embraces all screen forms from new, established and emerging screen practices. It acknowledges outstanding innovation, independent spirit and contributions in contemporary short, feature and documentary filmmaking, television, computer games, VR, AR, gallery-based moving image, installations, projections and other intersections with screen and moving image forms.

This sensational evening will include awards across multiple categories as short-listed and awarded by our nationally and internationally-based jury made up of professionals in their specific field.

The WA Screen Culture Awards are proudly presented by Revelation Perth International Film Festival on behalf of the WA screen industry and we look forward to working with the entire sector, hearing your opinions and celebrating achievement, innovation and ambition.

    The diversity of categories showcased the vast spectrum of talent within the industry, from emerging filmmakers to seasoned professionals. It was heart warming to witness the celebration of creativity across various genres and styles, emphasizing the inclusive nature of the event.
    As someone passionate about the world of cinema and screen culture, I left the event feeling inspired and invigorated. The Screen Culture Awards Evening exceeded my expectations, and I am already looking forward to next year's celebration of creativity, talent, and innovation in the world of screens. Well done Perth!!
