The AFI Members' Choice Award, was a film award, presented to an Australian feature-length film that was voted for by members of the Australian Film Institute (AFI) from 2009. The last award was presented by the newly-formed Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) in the inaugural AACTA Awards in 2011.
History[edit]
Prior to the establishment of AACTA in 2011, the award was presented by AFI at the annual Australian Film Institute Awards (more commonly known as the AFI Awards) from 2009–2010.[1] The award is presented at the AACTA Awards Luncheon, a black tie event which celebrates achievements in film production, television, documentaries and short films.[2][3]
The name was still used at the inaugural AACTA Awards in 2011,[4] but was dropped in the 2nd edition of the new awards.[5]
