Celebrate NAIDOC Week with a Screening of Indigenous Films

A screening of Indigenous short films can be a great addition to your community celebration.

Each DVD features a selection of contemporary short Indigenous films and is provided on a loan basis as part of a special event or festival.

This year the NFSA released Black Screen 14 and 15 with two engaging and compelling feature length films and three short drama’s.
