Published by hlaadmin on Award, Directors, Film

Tony Krawitz’s feature documentary The Tall Man has been announced as one of the finalist in the inaugural Walkley Documentary Award.  The documentary was produced Darren Dale and Rachel Perkins from Blackfella Films and is an adaptation of Chloe Hooper’s multi award-winning book.

 

Judges comments:

The judges felt that this was powerful documentary making, deconstructing the circumstances surrounding Doomadgee’s death. The film skilfully handles the complexities of both the legal and emotional issues.  Hooper’ and her colleagues have taken marginalised characters and given them a voice not heard before. This is the key to this film’s success.

The Walkley Documentary Award attracted 37 entries, including investigative, biographical and first-person stories reflecting the emotion and drama of the human experience.
