JMC's Melbourne Melbourne Martini Awards are back!
JMC Academy is proud to announce the 13th Martini Film Awards. We are so excited to return to the red carpet and celebrate the brilliant work of our Melbourne students and Alumni.
Commencing in Melbourne 2008, The Martini Film Awards have grown in stature and scope since the very first event at the Town Hall Hotel in Bank Street Melbourne, expanding to JMC's Sydney and Brisbane campuses. The event is a great opportunity to screen student films, animations, documentaries, and music videos to a captivated audience, as well as industry professionals. Prizes are awarded in a variety of categories each year thanks to generous contributions from sponsors made up of industry organisations and guilds.
