Join us at Port Macquarie Library on Tuesday July 9 at 10:00am for a screening of Ten Canoes directed by Rolf de Heer and Peter Djigirr and starring Crusoe Kurddal.

A parable of forbidden love from Australia’s mythical past, narrated by Australian icon David Gulpilil and starring his son Jamie as the covetous youth Dayindi, TEN CANOES is a ground-breaking glimpse into aboriginal life centuries before European settlement. Shot in and around the Arafura Wetlands of Central Arnhem Land, Rolf de Heer and the People of Ramingining have created a pioneering and timeless tale for all people and all cultures.

Winner of 6 Australian Film Institute Awards including Best Film. Winner of a Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.
