AUSTRALIA'S finest in film hit the Gold Coast last night for the awards considered to be the people's choice -- the Inside Film Awards.
The film stars were joined by former Olympic runner Cathy Freeman and Australian musicians Sarah Blasko and Gotye in a relaxed red carpet walk at the Crowne Plaza Royal Pines Resort.
Freeman said she was at the awards to learn, as she was interested in making her own movies.
Host Julia Zemiro said having the awards on the Gold Coast added to the event's relaxed feel.
The Jammed, starring IF-nominated best actress Veronica Sywak, took out best feature film.
Director Dee McLachlan said the film about illegal prostitution in Australia needed to be told.
"It's a tough film and a gritty film but it's still a fairly mainstream thriller," she said.
"It's about a social topic in Australia and I think it's important to make movies that count and actually say something."
