The NFSA initiated the Ken G Hall Award in 1995 in recognition of Hall's advocacy of cinema and its preservation throughout his long career in film and television production. The Award is presented by the NFSA to acknowledge and encourage individuals, groups of individuals, or corporations for their outstanding contribution to the art of moving image and its preservation.
NFSA Director Paolo Cherchi Usai said the 2006 Ken G Hall Award would be presented to Paul in acknowledgement of both his unique creative career and his long-term support of the NFSA. "Paul Cox is one of the best known Australian filmmakers in the international arena. He is an uncompromising filmmaker with a unique personal style whose work creates debate wherever it is screened," said Cherchi Usai.
Paul Cox will be presented with the Ken G Hall award at a public reception at the NFSA in Canberra on Thursday 2 November 2006. The presentation will be followed by an opportunity to hear Paul "in conversation" with Paolo Cherchi Usai, exploring Paul's unique perspective on cinema.
