Australian filmmaker Rolf de Heer directed the first major motion picture shot entirely in an indigenous Aboriginal language. It's an enchanting and wholly symbolic film that journeys with ten Aborigine tribesmen from Arnhem Land on their yearly hunt for goose eggs in the wetlands. One young warrior, Dayindi, covets one of his older brother's wives. Learning of this, Minygululu tells him a parable about impulsive desires, and this allegorical tale runs throughout the story, evolving with the characters and ultimately enveloping the narrative. This fresh story within a story within a story structure is one of the many reasons 10 Canoes won a Special Jury Prize at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. In Aboriginal with English subtitles. David Gulpilil Rolf de Heer---Australia---2006---92 mins.

From the director of The Quiet Room, The Tracker is a compelling and visually striking morality tale that addresses Australia's troubled history with its indigenous Aboriginal population. Led by an Aborigine tracker, three white men travel the Australian outback on a hunt for a fugitive Aboriginal man. Through their travels, it becomes clear that the supposedly subservient tracker, played by David Gulpilil (Rabbit Proof Fence) is in more control than his companions realize. "...a stunning piece of visual poetry that will, hopefully, be remembered as one of the most important stories to be told in Australia's film history" (Emma Westwood, Rolf de Heer---Australia---2002---98 mins.
