·

The Australian independent film The Aegean is making waves in the 2025 AACTA Awards, securing nominations in major categories.

Written and directed by Jacob Richardson, the film has captured hearts with its touching exploration of grief and human connection. It stars Costas Mandylor, Nikolas Chalkiadakis and Victoria Ramos.

Among its accolades are nominations for Best Indie Film, Best Film, Best Lead Actor for Mandylor, and Best Supporting Actor for Nicky Dune. The film is also a contender in technical categories, including Best Cinematography, Best Direction, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Score.
