1 Australian Film Institute Established in 1958, the Australian Film Institute is a national non-profit organisation, dedicated to the promotion of an awareness and appreciation of film. The Institute is governed by a seven member Board of Directors, which is elected annually by the members. Membership of the Institute is open to the public and all members are eligible to stand for the Board of Directors. Australian Film Awards The annual awards are conducted by the Institute w ith the support of the trade and industry. The presentation, which is televised nationally, serves the important function of drawing the public’s attention to the achievements of the Australian film industry. The awards have proved instrumental in increasing box-office receipts, thus boosting returns to filmmakers, distributors and exhibitors. Awards are given to feature, short fiction, documentary, animated and experimental films.
