This Autumn, catch the best of the Melbourne International Film Festival at Bunjil Place. MIFF and Bunjil Place present MIFF AUTUMN SCREENINGS.
Held over one weekend, the showcase brings the best of the festival to Bunjil Place with an extended event program.
After his passing, legendary Yolngu actor David Gulpilil is brought back to his home country in a continent-traversing commemoration worthy of his transcendent talent.
David Gulpilil was one of Australia’s greatest screen actors, beginning with his first performance in 1971’s Walkabout (MIFF 2015) and continuing over the next five decades through roles in landmark films including Rabbit-Proof Fence (MIFF 2015) and The Tracker (MIFF 2015).
After his death in 2021, his body was repatriated from Murray Bridge, South Australia, to be laid to rest in his homeland on Yolngu country.
An extraordinary odyssey across more than 3000 kilometres of outback road from Victor Harbor to Darwin, followed by a chartered plane and helicopter flight to his birthplace in East Arnhem Land, Gulpilil’s final journey is recorded in this moving, thoughtfully observed documentary.
This film is rated M for mature audiences.
Aboriginal And Torre Straight Islander people please be advised that this film contains images of a person who has died.
