Australian Award
The AACTA Award for Best Production Design is an award presented by the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA), a non-profit organisation whose aim is to "identify, award, promote and celebrate Australia's greatest achievements in film and television."[ 1] The award is presented at the annual AACTA Awards , which hand out accolades for achievements in feature film , television , documentaries and short films .[ 2] From 1976 to 2010, the category was presented by the Australian Film Institute (AFI), the academy's parent organisation, at the annual Australian Film Institute Awards (known as the AFI Awards).[ 3] When the AFI launched the academy in 2011, it changed the annual ceremony to the AACTA Awards, with the current award being a continuum of the AFI Award for Best Production Design.[ 3]
Best Production Design was first presented as Best Art Direction in 1977 .[ 4] The name changed to its current one in 1983 .[ 5] The award is presented to the production designer of a film that is Australian-made, or with a significant amount of Australian content.
