Media PhD candidates Anna Broinowski ("Forbidden Lies") and Tom Murray (" In My Father's Country") have each been nominated for Best Direction in a Documentary Feature Award by the Australian Directors Guild.
Media tutor Janet Merewether ("Maverick Mother") who has been nominated for Best Direction in a Documentary (under 60 minutes) Award by the Australian Directors Guild.
Media Screen Production student Rhys Votano has been nominated Best Short Film for his MAS325 documentary "The Pretty Simple World of an Angelman", a film about his brother Harley, in the 5th Harmony International Short Film Festival http://www.harmonyfilmfest.com/ The award is worth $5000.
This is the same award that Media Screen Production student Brendon Killen won for "Rob Tim Tom" last year - so Media Screen Production students are keeping up the high standards! Brendon is also a finalist this year - so two MQ students are up against each other and films from Mexico, Germany, Spain and Croatia.
Visit to Tranby Aboriginal College
On 13 August 2008, Associate Lecturer Lana Leslie and Administration Assistant Stephen Blair attended Tranby Aboriginal College located at Glebe NSW.
Kate Munro, Program Manager of Legal Studies at Tranby requested staff from Warawara attend to speak with students completing their Legal Studies course. A group of students were given resources outlining options for further study at Macquarie, with a particular focus on the discipline of Law and Community Management.
As a result of the visit, all students were later sent more specific information concerning their individual needs. In September 2008, Warawara received terrific news that one of the Tranby students visited had just applied for a Bachelor of Laws at Macquarie.
