Some of the the Indigenous shorts screening include:

Ngurrawaana

Yindjibarndi man Wimiya Woodley takes us on an immersive journey of self-discovery back to his homelands. Originally established by his grandfather Woodley King, Ngurrawaana was set up as a place of rejuvenation and recovery for Yindjibarndi people who had lost their way. Wimiya shows us how being back in his country helps his people find their spirit and power amongst their ancestors.

To Be Silent

Noongar and Spinifex Aboriginal woman Tace Stevens explores the impact of code-switching on her identity, before revealing what led her to embrace the power of standing firm in who she is, no matter where she is.

Pressure And Release

The Kimberley region of Western Australia is a harsh and beautiful place. Devastated by a pattern of tragic suicides among its youth, its natural beauty conceals a community in crisis. Amid the darkness, a glimmer of hope emerges in the form of Nyangumarta woman, Professor Juli Coffin, who determines that to make a difference, she must do something different. Knowing first-hand that horses have incredible power to interface with humans on a profound level, Juli uses her herd of gentle horses to connect with the young people at risk of being left behind by society.

Allira

A famous Aboriginal actress must make a decision. Leave her unfaithful husband or stay with him and maintain their rare position as positive representatives of Aboriginal people in the mainstream media
