Emerging and established Indigenous filmmakers are having their works showcased across South Australia as part of a showcase during Reconciliation Week.
Nunga Screen, formerly known as Black Screen, features an program of independent films for all ages. This year's program has films that are all South Australian and are made by First Nation filmmakers.
Communities across regional South Australia come together to share in culture and experience inspiring docos, compelling dramas, quirky animation, contemporary and traditional storytelling during the event.
Among this year's films is Unbreakable, where survivors of the Stolen Generation share stories of their forced removal and how their experiences have shaped their individual pathways.
Lest We Forget Aboriginal Women features three Aboriginal women, who served in the military in the 70s and 80s and discuss how their lives were changed by being in the Armed Forces and what challenges they faced.
Wangkangurru/Adnyamathanha/ Kuyani/Luritja woman and artist, Aunty Lavene (pictured above), presents Lavene Ngatokorua. Her creations reflect her unique visions of community and Culture and tell stories that reflect personal experiences.
Nunga Screen Programmer, Ngarrindjeri man Josh Trevorrow, is an established creator/producer and facilitator within the screen industry.
As well as fulfilling the role of First Nations Arts & Culture Manager with Country Arts SA, Josh co-founded bespoke production company Untold Productions with Katharine McPhee.
Josh's personal mandate is also to champion more First Nations talent, in both mainstream and commercial roles and projects as well as uniquely Indigenous Stories.
"Nunga Screen has become a strong part of community calendars across regional SA and with each year our partnerships with regional organisations and communities strengthens," he said.
"Film is one of the most powerful mediums not only to educate, but also to enlighten audiences about our People and Culture.
The full program of films can be found here.
