Ten Canoes (Q&A Event with Rolf De Heer) June 5, 2006

TALKING PICTURES EVENT - a special Q&A EVENT with ROLF DE HEER who will present and discuss his new film TEN CANOES direct from the CANNES FILM INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL.

Ten Canoes is unique in that it is the first feature film to be shot entirely in Aboriginal language (predominantly Ganalbingu), and it is set both in the past (centuries ago, before the coming of white people to Australia) and in the Ganalbingu mythical past. It is a tragi-comedy, a cautionary tale of love, lust and revenge gone wrong that, incidental to its central story line, also explores something of the "old ways".
