Theatre Royal Castlemaine is hosting a special program of films as part of the Central Victorian Reconciliation Film Festival from this Sunday May 28 until Sunday June 4.
The star of the event is Fighting Giants which will screen at the historic cinema on Thursday June 1 at 7.30pm. Nalderun are organising a Welcome to Country for this special event and a Q & A will follow.
Frack Free Kimberley proudly presents Fighting Giants, the powerful new film and rallying call to protect the Kimberley from oil and gas fracking.
The stunning, intact landscapes of the Kimberley and the rich culture of its Aboriginal custodians are at risk.
Frackers are the closest they have ever been to turning the region into an industrial wasteland and wrecking the climate in the process.
Frack Free Kimberley teamed up with Kimberley Traditional Owners, climate scientists and economists from The Australia Institute to produce Fighting Giants and can’t wait to share this ode to the Kimberley and urgent call to action with you, your family, and your friends.
The film features Dr Anne Poelina, Mr Corpus (recently deceased), Nuriah Jadai, Madelaine Jadai, John Butler and EK Director Martin Pritchard.
Kimberley Traditional Owners will be travelling from the Kimberley to speak at these premiere events – for the Theatre Royal screening, participants will be viewing a pre-recorded introduction and discussion by Mangala Traditional Owners.A further discussion panel will take place after the screening with Anitra Nelson from the Wararack, Laura Leveton from Central Victoria Climate Action, Annika Kearton, CEO of Central Victoria Greenhouse Alliance and special guests.
Don’t miss your chance to hear from and support these strong individuals who are standing up for their Country.
