The 5th Adelaide Film Festival took place in Adelaide, Australia, from 24 February to 6 March 2011.[1] Katrina Sedgwick was again Festival Director. Julietta Sichel was the head of the jury for the main competition.[2] Judy Davis received the 2011 Don Dunstan Award[3][4] for her contribution to the Australian film industry on the opening night of the Festival.[5] The glass statuette was presented by Australian filmmaker Fred Schepisi.[6]
A special screening of the 2010 Restoration Version of Fritz Lang's classic sci-fi epic Metropolis was shown with a new score, written by The New Pollutants.[7] This original score was conceived, composed and recorded over a 12-month period, and had its world premiere at the 2005 Adelaide Film Festival.[7][8]
The festival opened with Mrs Carey's Concert,[9] directed by Bob Connolly and Sophie Raymond, and closed with Mad Bastards,[9] directed by Brendan Fletcher. The film poster for the festival featured a man projecting a film from within himself, illustrating the theme "See Within."
