Free Indigenous Films at Sydney Opera House
If you’re like me, you probably see more foreign films than Australian indigenous films. Sure, Ten Canoes made us big but those high-profile flicks tend to be the exception rather than the rule.
But the Message Sticks Indigenous Film Festival looks to change all that by bringing indigenous movies to the masses. The program will features seven world premieres of seven short films by seven new Australian directors. Amongst the talented newcomers are acclaimed actresses Deborah Mailman and Leah Purcell.
To make the festival more accessible, every screening is free, which makes it a great alternative to a night at your local Greater Union!
