Projecção do filme Dhakiyarr vs The King, Graeme Isaac , 2004, 56 minutos
The family of the great Yolngu leader Dhakiyarr Wirrpanda is searching for answers. Seventy years after his controversial murder trial and subsequent disappearance, Dhakiyarr’s body has still not been found.
His descendants know that justice was not served. They want to restore what was denied to him: his honour. This is their story, told in their own words – of two laws, two cultures and two families coming to terms with the past.

Projecção do filme The Change at Groote, Richard Mason, 1968, 27 minutos
This award-winning film was designed to show how the Aboriginal people of Groote Eylandt in the Gulf of Carpentaria adjusted to the new life brought about by the discovery of manganese on their land. The director and writer of the film described it as a fragmented collage of images and sounds, intended to produce a direct emotional response.
The result is a flood of images, some of them flicking past almost too quickly to be grasped, others repeated over and over again to induce special effects..
