Relic Q&A with Charlie Sarroff and Natalie Erika James

ON THIS TUESDAY AFTERNOON

We are excited to present a Q&A discussion with Cinematographer Charlie Sarroff and Director Natalie Erika James on their debut feature film Relic.

Relic is a 2020 horror drama film directed by Natalie Erika James in her directorial debut, from a screenplay by James and Christian White. It stars Emily Mortimer, Robyn Nevin and Bella Heathcote.

The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2020, and was released July 10 in Australia on streaming service Stan.

Charlie will be joining us for the event from LA. This will be a Q&A event hosted by ACS Victoria Vice President Gerald Wiblin.

We highly recommend checking Relic out on Stan beforehand and also having a squizz at Charlie's impressive range of music videos and short films.

Based between Melbourne and Los Angeles, Charlie Sarroff’s short narrative ventures have earned him acclaim, collecting several awards from the Australian Cinematographers Society (ACS), as well as on the international film festival circuit.

His feature debut RELIC, directed by frequent collaborator Natalie Erika James for Carver/AGBO, premiered at Sundance 2020.

His most recent feature, PINK SKIES AHEAD, shot under the direction of Kelly Oxford for Divide/Conquer & Stampede Ventures was a highly anticipated film at the SXSW 2020 Film Festival.

Victorian Tasmanian Awards - Now Open

This year the Victorian and Tasmanian Awards for cinematography will be going ahead and will be held as an online streaming event on the 14th of November.

If possible we will arrange a branch get together somewhere outside in the warmth after the awards live stream. This will likely be around late November or early December and act as a social event to mark the end of the year and also to hand out award plaques to winners.

Award Dates & Fees

Award entries are now open and close on the 21st of August.

Due to the severity with which our industry has been hit by COVID-19 the National ACS has agreed to a reduction in awards entry costs for this year.

There will be a roughly 30% reduction in award entry fees and winners will have the option to purchase plaques at a greatly reduced price if they desire.

Category Changes

There have been some changes to the award categories for 2020 as well so check out the link below to make sure you're submitting your work in the correct category.
