História

Dylan River is an filmmaker from Alice Springs, Australia. He grew up in a creative family filled with numerous filmmakers and from an early age thought filmmaking was boring and not for him!

In 2015, Dylan's first short film "Nulla Nulla" was selected as part of the Berlin International Film Festival. Dylan currently has been working on numerous solo projects and television series'. His work as a cinematographer fills most of his time, and is still motivated to staying behind the camera. Telling stories close to home, combining life and work as one.

Audrey Napanangka
Cinematography
The story of a Warlpiri woman, Audrey, and her Sicilian partner Santo as they navigate through colonial systems to keep the children they care for together. Audrey Napanangka was born at a time when the world was changing for the people in the Central Australian Desert. Settler colonisation was permeating the desert and forced changes and the fusion of two worlds shifted Audrey’s life forever. Today, Audrey raises young people to walk in many worlds, by centering culture, language, and Law in their lives alongside mainstream education. The intimate footage filmed over 10 years in Mparntwe (Alice Springs), Yuendumu and Audrey’s Warlpiri country Mount Theo, showcases a heartwarming story about the power of kinship and family in what is known as Australia.
