Kath Shelper

Kath Shelper has won Best Feature at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards in 2009 for Samson & Delilah, written and directed by Warwick Thornton. That same year, Samson & Delilah also won the Camera d’Or for best first feature at the Cannes Film Festival and many other awards around the world. Shelper’s other credits include feature films Ruben Guthrie, from director Brendan Cowell (2016), and Beck Cole’s Here I Am (2011). Her documentary work includes the AACTA Award-winning Tender by Lynette Wallworth (2013) and The Darkside (2013) by Warwick Thornton, which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival, 2014.

Back to APSA Academy Members

The Asia Pacific Screen Academy expresses its respect for and acknowledgement of the South East Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. We pay our respects to the Traditional Owners of country, including the custodial communities on whose land works are created and celebrated by the Asia Pacific Screen Awards. We acknowledge the continuing connection to land, waters and communities. We also pay our respects to Elders, past and emerging. We recognise the integral role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and First Nations peoples continue to play in storytelling and celebration spaces.
