JMC Academy is proud to present The 14th Martini Film Awards – Melbourne. 

Creativity has no limits, and this year at the 14th edition of the Melbourne Martini Awards, we honour film as an art form, celebrating the visionary creatives who blend their talents into a unified vision. From writers and directors, to cinematographers, production and sound designers, composers, actors, not forgetting the editors and visual effects artists—everyone plays a vital role! 

While both the local industry and the global film and television landscape adapt to new business models, including streaming, virtual production, and the impact of AI, the importance of human expression is greater than ever. JMC students explore and experiment with different forms of expression throughout their studies, and the Martini Awards continues to celebrate these contributions! 

Our current students and recent alumni are at the forefront of this exciting change, and their creative contributions resonate more powerfully than ever before. Join us on Monday, 28th October for a dynamic at the stunning Capitol Theatre, 113 Swanston Street, Melbourne! Doors Open at 6pm for drinks and nibbles, with the ceremony starting promptly at 7pm. 

Come together with us for an audio-visual celebration—a festival of inspiration, ideas, and creativity! Join us to experience "Imagination, Captured Differently."
