The South Australian Screen Awards (SASAs) are the local version of the Academy Awards, but are thankfully more focussed on film-making than on who wore what.

Each year the Media Resource Centre celebrates the best in locally-made film with the awards ceremony, but for the first time this will be followed by a series of screenings showing the films nominated for awards. The screenings represent a rare opportunity to see SA’s best on the silver screen and get in on the ground floor as dazzling talent starts its career.

Starting the very day after the awards, the screenings span a week – so spare some time for some local talent to blow your mind.

Starting May 16, various times and dates
