Ten Canoes
Saturday 17th February 12:00 PM - Alhambra
Director:Rolf de Heer & Peter Djigirr
Cert:TBC Year: 2006 Length:90mins
Country:Australia Language:Aboriginal
The first-ever movie in an Australian Aboriginal language is lushly filmed and cleverly framed by an English-language narration (voiced by David Gulpilil, Australia's best-known Aboriginal actor). True to oral tradition, Ten Canoes weaves stories within stories to create a hugely enjoyable comedy-drama.
Critics
“An hypnotic and unexpectedly funny story of a traditional aboriginal boy's life”
