Festival Screening – August 9, 2015 @ 4:00 PM at Treasury Theatre
Upon its release in 2013, Rolf de Heer’s Charlie’s Country was recognised as an instant classic of Australian cinema. Scoring longtime de Heer collaborator David Gulpilil a Best Actor award at Cannes, the film is a powerful meditation on Indigenous dispossession and the irreparable breaking of tradition that showcased Gulpilil’s inimitable capacity for communicating the all-too-human cost of our nation’s cultural warfare.
Director – Rolf de Heer
Actor David Gulpilil (who played Charlie), won the Un Certain Regard Award for Best Actor at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.
