The UTV team were all smiles after presenting the award for ‘Best Documentary – Short Form’ to Andrew Seaton and Nick Mutton’s ‘The People Under the Bridge’ at the 2019 SAE ATOM Awards.
Gritty and honest, ‘The People Under the Bridge’ documents the lives of those living in poverty two weeks before the council plans to remove their tents by any means necessary, we meet the eccentric community of homeless people who live under the historic Wentworth Park Bridge.
Since 1982, the ATOM Awards have been celebrating the best of Australian and New Zealand screen content from the education sector and screen industry professionals.
The 2019 SAE ATOM Awards feature thirty-four categories covering everything from feature-length films and television programs to animation, short fiction, educational resources, and new media including web series, websites and apps.
Open to all entrants, this category includes all types of documentaries, including experimental, as long as they are no more than 30 minutes in duration. Documentary series where each episode is under 30 minutes should be entered into the Best Factual Television Series or Best Web Series category, where they will be judged as a unified product.
What a fabulous night honouring emerging filmmakers!
