you to an Australian Indigenous film screening event:

30 YEARS OF FILMMAKING IN BORROLOOLA (NT)

Date: Tuesday 8 June 2010

Venue: Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), Melbourne



LAUNCH

‘Two Laws’ DVD and Yanyuwa Animated Songlines Project

5.30pm: The Lounge

Launched by: Malarndirri McCarthy (MLA, Arnhem, NT) and Professor Faye  
Ginsburg (New York University)

Special guests:  Filmmakers Carolyn Strachan, Alessandro Cavadini  and  
representatives of the Yanyuwa community of Borroloola.



SCREENING

7pm: Cinema 2

‘The Dreamings of Saltwater Country’

(Yanyuwa Song Lines Animation Project, 2010) (12 mins)

Australian premiere of this visually exciting new Indigenous community  
film project designed to facilitate cross-generational communication  
in the Yanyuwa community.



‘Two laws/ Kanymarda Yuwa’

(Borroloola Aboriginal Community with Carolyn Strachan and Alessandro  
Cavadini,1981) (130 mins)

A new print of this distinguished and rarely seen film considered a  
watershed in documentary film. With sensual visuals and dream-like  
pacing, the film dramatically engages an Indigenous sense of time,  
oral history traditions, rules of kinship and the community’s  
particular song lines to reveal their law and custom and to record the  
beginnings of what has become one of Australia’s longest running land  
rights battles.
