AFDA Awards winners announced

Thea Small's The Other Women raked in eight nominations and four AFDA Gold wins to secure the AFDA Best 4th Year Film and Critics Award. Smal's film is about a schoolteacher who moonlights as a high-class hooker by night.

The Best 3rd Year Film was also won by a female director, Kristy Lotz, for her film Threesome, which deals with Generation Y's sexual attitudes and relationships.

The top-five5 films, as decided by the audience and critics panel, will be sent to over 30 festivals worldwide. The Other Women will also be proposed as a contender for Best Foreign Student Film at the 2014 Oscars, as well as an International Film School candidate for the CILECT awards.
