In 1982 First Nations people from across the country converged on Brisbane to protest the Commonwealth Games, demand recognition of Aboriginal Land Rights and demonstrate against the Queensland Government’s oppressive Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Protection Act. The Brisbane Indigenous Media Association (BIMA) produced a documentary on this landmark in the political struggle of First Nations peoples.
The documentary has been selected as a finalist in 3 categories for the West End Film Festival. The West End Film Festival is an Australian short film competition held in Brisbane, provides a platform for emerging filmmakers to showcase their work and talent in front of their peers and established members of the industry. It also provides established industry with a place to showcase new work and connect with up and coming filmmakers.
The West End Film Festival will be held at the Rumpus Cinema on Sunday March 23.
