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.
