solid screen festival

The 2021 Solid Screen Awards have gone to 6 Aboriginal women representing a variety of roles in different media platforms and communities from across Australia. The annual Solid Awards honour those who have long standing and also emerging careers in the screen arts, to acknowledge those creatives who have contributed substantially to their respective industries over decades. The Solid Screen initiatives are home grown in Australia, with a unique focus on Indigenous Women around the world, and a very rare opportunity to celebrate the current outstanding practice, which helps to grow screen culture locally, and also put the regions on the map internationally. The  Solid Screen Storyteller Award  has gone to Miriam Corowa (NSW) and was presented to her during the May converge media conference on Bundjalung Country in her hometown of Lismore in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. Miriam is a member of the Minyangbal and Bundjalung people and also has South Sea Islander heritage.
