Biography
Warwick Thornton (b. 1970, Alice Springs, Australia) studied film photography at AFTRS in Sydney and gave his debut as a director in 1996 with the film Payback, which was screened at the festival in Telluride. This was followed by the short comedy Mimi (2002) and the half-hour drama Green Bush (2005), which premiered at Sundance and received awards at a number of festivals, including the Berlinale, where it won Best Short Film in the Panorama section. Berlin awarded another of his shorts, Nana (2007), which also garnered Thornton the Emerging Filmmaker Award at the Melbourne film festival. He has also made several documentaries for CAAMA Productions, ABC and SBS. He lives in Alice Springs and is currently putting together a documentary series about Australian Aboriginal art. His successful feature debut Samson and Delilah, after winning the Audience Prize at the festival in Adelaide, also took away the Camera d'Or from Cannes this year.
