AFI Awards looking for jurors
The Australian Film Institute is calling for screen industry professionals to take part in the juries for the Feature Film Pre‐Selection, Documentary, Television, Visual Effects, Young
Actor, Short Fiction Film and Short Animation, for this year’s AFI Awards.
“Jurors will have a minimum of four to five weeks to view the relevant productions on DVD in their own home,” AFI chair Alan Finney told Encore.
“Prospective jurors should be familiar with the 2011 AFI Awards Rule Book and entry guidelines and they should not have any vested interest in any of the entries they will be assessing, they are required to sign a statutory declaration to this effect. The AFI Awards team, considers conflicts when placing jurors, we do conduct research against jurors and the entries in each category. However, it is up to each juror to declare any potential conflict, and to then sign a statutory declaration prior to the meeting,” explained Finney. “An independent auditor from KPMG will attend all meetings. Jurors’ names are publicly released at the end of each year to ensure transparency and authenticity in the judging and voting process, however they are not be attributed to specific juries.”

Hi I would like to be a juror for Television Drama; I work as a cast coordinator and have just finished East West 101 and am currently working on Spirited. I have been a member of AFI in the 80s and 90s and then rejoined.
Thanks

Hi, I am a professional actor and have been on and off for the last 35 years. I have worked on major feature films, telivision series and soaps. I also worked on other films. that have not been released like Cross Life and Dusk.
I made over 50 featured commercials over the years and countless short films for mainly film students and I am a proud member of Equity (MEAA.) Please see Showcast Magazine for more details.
I therefor bring experience, knowledge, understanding and a sense of fairness and balance to being a Jurer in either feature film pree selection, short fiction film and telivision.
I have no vested interest in any of the current productions in their respected fields (I have been busy writing my book, Living Lies and working overseas) and I am very familar the 2011 Award rules and entry guide lines.
Thank you
George Sais.
