Ten Canoes

NAIDOC WEEK Screenings! The first Australian feature filmed entirely in Indigenous languages, Rolf de Heer and Peter Djiggir’s TEN CANOES is a mythical story-within-a-story.

Narrated by David Gulpilil this Australian film follows Dayindi (Jamie Gulpilil), a young aboriginal warrior, as he wanders the wilderness hunting for eggs. Dayindi hears a story told by his brother Minygululu (Peter Minygululu), which echoes his own situation. A man who lusts after his brother's wife, the character in the tale kills a member of another tribe and faces dire consequences.
