The 5th Sydney Film School Robin Anderson Scholarship winner will be announced by no other than Bruce Beresford, one of the most celebrated Australian film directors, writers, and producers, whose credits include Breaker Morant, Tender Mercies, Driving Miss Daisy and most recently Mao's Last Dancer.

Each year, Sydney Film School teams up with the Robin Anderson Film Festival, an annual competitive film festival for secondary school filmmakers, to offer a one-year, full time scholarship to one lucky secondary school filmmaker (Years 11-12) to study in a Diploma of Screen and Media Program, valued at $14,500.

After seeing 20 finalist films, both documentaries and dramas, a panel of Sydney Film School tutors selected six candidates to compete for the outstanding opportunity to further their studies in a practical and educational filmmaking environment.
