AACTA members selected the feature-length documentaries from a field of 19, and five of the nominated films are about women.

Directed by Matthew Walker, I m Wanita follows the talented but troubled Australian honky-tonk singer Wanita Bahtiyar as she realises her dream of recording an album in Nashville while dealing with her inner demons.

Peter Rabbit goes to town in this sequel, taking his gift for making mayhem to the city. This takes him a long way from the mildly mischievous bunny of Beatrix Potterâs imaginings. A mix of live action and CGI animation has Sydney standing in for the south-west of England, as the story takes shape around an updated version of Potterâs early career. Bea (Rose Byrne) and her new husband Thomas McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) have self-published her illustrated stories about Peter (James Corden) and and now a publishing company is interested.
