The AACTA Award for Best Indie Film is an award presented by the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) since 2018.

The award is presented at the annual AACTA Awards, which hand out accolades for achievements in feature film, television, documentaries and short films. Since 2024 the awards have been held at the Gold Coast, Queensland.[1]

History[edit]

The establishment of the AACTA Award for Best Indie Film was announced on 1 May 2018.[2] The inaugural award was won by Jirga, directed by Benjamin Gilmour.[3]

Eligibility[edit]
