AUSTRALIYANIALITY - FILM PROGRAM

Published by: Revelation Perth International Film Festival | 22-Oct-2018
Australiyaniality aims to explore Australia's wellbeing. The key word liyan is a Yawuru word that relates to Aboriginal peoples' view of their wellbeing. It is about the way they feel about themselves and relationship with their community. 27 Artists have come together from different disciplines and cultural backgrounds to interrogate their own Australian identity and explore what a better Australian identity would look like. Can it be re-shaped? What is good? What needs to change? What is our collective liyan? How do we materialise all of this into real action?

Jandamarra's War

Dir: Mitch Torres / Year: 2011 / Duration: 55mins
Jandamarra's War is the story of an aboriginal Australian man who should be as famous as Ned Kelly. In 1894, Jandamarra led a rebellion against invading pastoralists in defence of his people's ancient land and culture. Until his death in brutal retribution, this formidable Bunuba warrior waged a 3-year guerrilla war, earning him both the admiration of his people and international notoriety.

Vast

In September 2017 over 30 artists in the field of music and visual art converged in the heart of west Pilbara for a week of creation, recording and collaboration in the historic town of Cossack (Bajinhurrba).
It was a life changing experience where these artists experienced many of the treasures of the West Pilbara- its history, landscapes, culture and people and sought to reflect this experience through the creation of songs, artwork, poetry and film. this was done in the spirit of exposing and giving back to this amazing part of the world and so it is with much love and excitement that many of these artists returned to the Pilbara in May 2018, for a concert, film screening, gallery show and immersive workshops in a showcase of the magic that was uncovered.

Wrong Kind of Black

Dir: Catriona McKenzie / Year: 2018 / Duration: 62min
Wrong Kind of Black, set in the 60s and 70s is based on experiences from the extraordinary life of Boori Monty Pryor, author and storyteller, who grew up in Townsville before moving to Melbourne to pursue modelling and DJing. From the cops and crocs of Queensland, to the disco dance floors of Melbourne, this is a hilarious, inspiring and heart breaking story of?an Aboriginal man who?stood against the tide of Australian racism, refusing to be labeled 'the wrong kind of black'.

Salute

Dir: Matt Norman / Year: 2008 / Duration: 92min

At the 1968 Olymics, Australian athlete Peter Norman stands on the podium with a Silver medal around his neck after the 200m sprint. To his right stands US athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlo who together won Gold and Bronze. In the air is their clenched fist Black Power salute. While not clenching his fist Norman undertook his own form of protest that had life-long repercussions.
