John Hughes is one of Australia\u2019s most respected documentary (and drama) film directors, his work having won many awards. The films are usually Australian in orientation, examining art, cultural politics and history. The work is often intensely research driven; the films are serious investigations into their material. also they have cinematic creative flair. His credits are numerous, starting in the early \u201870s with short films such as Nowhere Game, through to acclaimed documentaries in the \u201880s such as Film-Work, to the narrative feature What I Have Writtenin the \u201890s, and onto the recent award-winning documentaries The Archive Project (2006) and Indonesia Calling: Joris Ivens In Australia (2009). Hughes was honored with Film Australia\u2019s coveted Stanley Hawes Award, for Achievement In Documentary in 2006, and the inaugural Joan Long Award from the Australian and New Zealand Film History Association (2006).
