  • David Gulpilil, AM
    David Gulpilil, AM Born 1953, Gulparil, near Ramingining, Northern Territory. Lives Darwin, N.T. David Gulpilil’s full name is David Gulpilil Ridjimiraril Dalaithngu. Gulpilil is also spelt Gulparil, which is the name of his Country near Ramingining, central Arnhem Land, N.T. When, as a seventeen year-old, David Gulpilil lit up the cinema screen in the film, Walkabout, he did more than play a role. The performance was so strong, so imbued with a new type of graceful naturalism, that it re-defined perceptions of Aboriginality, especially in the field of screen acting. Over the next decade, David became the iconic Aboriginal actor of his generation, paving the way in the resurgence of the Australian film industry for more parts to be written for Aboriginal people, for more Aboriginal stories to be told. His charismatic, engaging and unforgettable performances in films like Storm Boy (1976, dir. Henri Safran), The Last Wave (1977, dir. Peter Weir) and Crocodile Dundee (1986, dir. Peter Faiman) helped bring Aboriginality into the mainstream of the screen arts. In his later work, including Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002, dir. Philip Noyce), The Tracker (2002, dir. Rolf de Heer), Australia (2008, dir. Baz Luhrmann) and the soon to be released Charlie's Country (2013, dir. Rolf de Heer), Gulpilil has brought tremendous dignity to the depiction of what it is to be Aboriginal. Through his art he has brought an incalculable amount of self-esteem to his community. Since the early 1970s, Gulpilil has earned more than 30 film credits, and performed alongside Dennis Hopper, Jack Thompson, Miles Davis, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, Kenneth Branagh, William Hurt, Richard Chamberlain, Guy Pearce, Paul Hogan, and Ernie Dingo, under acclaimed directors such as Peter Weir, Baz Lurhman, Philip Noyce, Wim Wenders and Rolf de Heer.

  • Unesco Creative Cities Membership Monitoring Report 2015-17 MEMBERSHIP MONITORING REPORT
    unesco creative cities membership monitoring report 2015-17 MEMBERSHIP MONITORING REPORT GENERAL INFORMATION. CONTRIBUTION TO THE NETWORK’S GLOBAL MANAGEMENT. MAJOR INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTED AT LOCAL LEVEL. MAJOR INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTED THROUGH INTER-CITY COOPERATION. PROPOSED ACTION PLAN. ANGELINA JOLIE AT THE SYDNEY PREMIER OF UNBROKEN CONTENTS. 2015-17 MEMBERSHIP MONITORING REPORT With support from the NSW Government, the City of Sydney, and key screen industry stakeholders, Sydney was awarded the UNESCO City of Film designation in December 2010. The existing screen infrastructure in Sydney and the diversity and value of film culture of Sydney was a major reason for the success of Sydney’s bid. It placed Sydney as the second City of Film in the UCCN. As the specialist agency in screen matters, management of the status of the City of Film was given to the former agency Screen NSW, with the agreement of the City of Sydney and the support of the NSW Government and former Minister for the Arts. The UNESCO Creative City designation is consistent with the aims of the NSW Creative Industries Action Plan, which seeks to ensure that NSW, through Sydney, is recognised as a global creative centre and leader in creative industries. Sydney and its surrounds continue to be the location for high levels of both international and local production and post-production, as well as many Australian TV dramas. NSW is the dominant state for screen production in Australia with more than 60% of Australian production and post-production businesses located in here. With a suite of funding opportunities for the professional production sector, from early development to production finance and a range of industry development programs, the organization supports the continued growth and development of a creative sector that returns significant economic benefits, large numbers of jobs and high cultural and social returns to the community.

  • Screening Anthropology and Theology in Ten Canoes
    Screening anthropology and theology in Ten Canoes Katherine Rainger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that this article contains the names and images of people who have died. Introduction This edition of St Mark’s Review explores intersections between the disci- plines of theology and anthropology. In this article I am proposing that the award-winning Australian film Ten Canoes (Rolf de Heer and Peter Djigirr, 2006) provides a space where a rich interaction between theology and anthropology can take place.1 Part one provides an overview of Ten Canoes. Part two examines the dynamic use of Donald Thomson’s anthropological record in Ten Canoes along with perceptions of “Thomson time” off-screen and on-screen. Part three explores resonances between Ten Canoes and Willie James Jennings’ theology of creation. I conclude by arguing in part four that anthropology and theology have separate contributions to make in terms of the production history and interpretation of Ten Canoes; however, the film also provides a shared space of interaction for the two disciplines. I am writing this article as a non-Indigenous theologian working within the Christian tradition. This means that I approach the theological discussion as an “insider” who is familiar with the language and frameworks used within theology. Conversely, I am an “outsider” when it comes to anthropologi- cal discourse. I am also an “outsider” in relation to the Yolngu knowledge, spirituality, and culture that are represented in Ten Canoes. Katherine Rainger is Assistant Priest at Holy Covenant Anglican Church, Jamison, and a doctoral candidate with Charles Sturt University.
