AACTA Australia + International

The Challenge

Originally known as the ‘AFI Awards’, Fourth Wall were selected to partner with the Australian Film Industry, to create an elaborate extravaganza that would earn a global reputation as the Australian equivalent of the Oscars and the BAFTAs, under the new brand AACTA.

Fourth Wall delivered as the broadcast, production and event partner for the AACTA Awards, both her and in the US.

The Creation

The AACTA Awards are held annually o recognise and celebrate Australia’s highest achievements in film and television, as judged by the industry itself. AFI/AACTA also recognise screen excellence, regardless of geography, through the AACTA International Awards, which are held each in Los Angeles (USA).

The International AACTA Awards were held in Los Angeles at The Avalon Hollywood. Televised in Australia exclusively on Foxtel Arts, this intimate invitation-only ceremony was a star-studded affair, with nominees in attendance, including Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Gary Oldman, Sam Rockwell, Abbie Cornish and presenters Jai Courtney, Josh Lawson, Mallory Jansen, Daniel MacPherson, Josh Thomas and Longford Lyell Award recipient Phillip Noyce.

Fourth Wall is proud to have remained the event’s broadcast, production and event partner since 2011, working with AACTA to expanded from a single Australian industry award program to its current format which includes an international Oscar-style awards program held in Hollywood.

The Outcome

Perpetually, Fourth Wall has achieved the AFI’s objectives to achieve cost-efficiencies and deliver within tight timeframes. Feedback confirms that each year, the industry, guests and sponsors adore this event. The style, speed and sense of occasion we continue to create has resulted in them being dubbed the “Aussie Oscars”. Media wrote, “All Australian awards shows – and some US ones too – are hereby put on notice. This is how to do awards.”

For us, having our audience as excited as we are about an event, is the ultimate mark of success.
