Composer Christopher Gordon is being handed the Distinguished Services to the Australian Screen award at this year's Screen Music Awards. Responsible for big scores to films like Mao’s Last Dancer, Ladies In Black, and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, Christopher has also written for television, ballet and the concert hall.

Forming in Brisbane in 1978, The Apartments have been releasing music on-and-off for over 40 years, with singer songwriter Peter Milton Walsh the only constant member.
