Abbie Cornish wins Best Actress for Somersault at the IF (Inside Film) Awards, 2004.
Cate Shortland's first feature helped to launch the film career of Abbie Cornish – here, she refers to the film as a 'fork in the road' for her. As well as her fellow cast, Cornish thanks Shortland, producer Anthony Anderson and Executive Producer Jan Chapman in her acceptance speech.
Somersault won the 2004 IF Awards for Best Feature Film, Director and Script (both Shortland), Cinematography (Robert Humphreys) and Music (Decoder Ring). The film also won an impressive haul of 13 awards at the AFI (later AACTA) Awards.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
