Jandamarra's War Nominated for a 2011 Screen Music Award and 3 ATOM Awards. Electric Pictures and Wawili Pitjas are pleased to announce that Jandamarra's War is a Finalist for Best Documentary General, Best Documentary Biography and Best Docudrama in the 2011 ATOM Awards. Jandamarra was a legendary indigenous warrior and lawman who led one of Australia's longest and most successful campaigns to defend Aboriginal country. STEVE Hawke's play about the Kimberley resistance leader Jandamarra gains a new theatrical presence in the instant that spotlights flood the limestone cliff face at Windjana Gorge, in the West Kimberley. In the 1890s, real-life renegade Jandamarra and his Bunuba tribe hid out in Windjana's maze-like gorges; from high rock parapets, they ambushed white pastoralists and policemen hot on their trail until, aged 24, Jandamarra was felled by a tracker's bullet. Money didn't extend to such effects, but much else has been achieved in this fine retelling of the Jandamarra story, which premiered in the 2008 Perth International Arts Festival. Western theatre tradition is still mildly hostile territory when it comes to staging rich indigenous stories. It's fair to say that stand-and-deliver oratory leads to static, wooden moments from even the best actors, prompting questions about when Aboriginal vernacular, movement and even comedic style will begin to shape Australia's theatrical tradition, instead of being shaped by it. This Bunuba-owned production company has worked hard on such issues, breaking new ground in turning Bunuba idiom into a living, palpable stage presence. Almost half the dialogue is delivered in indigenous language, with excellent surtitles. The very medium that brought Jandamarra's story and the Water Snake myth safely down through the generations becomes the star of the show. http://www.bindarri.com.au/damion-hunter-jandamarra/ Campaign shoot ©Ingetje Tadros

A GROUP OF YOUNG ABORIGINAL MEN FROM A TRIBE ON THE VERGE OF CULTURAL EXTINCTION HAVE JUST DISCOVERED THAT A LAW BOSS FROM A NEIGHBORING TRIBE KNOW SOME OF THEIR CULTURAL SONGS AND DANCES. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PERFORMED FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS AND IT WAS THOUGHT THEY HAD BEEN LOST FOREVER. THE SONGS AND DANCES ARE VERY SIGNIFICANT - THEY WERE GIVEN TO THE MEN’S TRIBE, THE DJUGUN TRIBE, BY THEIR CREATOR DURING THE BUGURAGARRA (THE DREAMTIME). THEY GIVE THE PEOPLE THEIR IDENTITY AND SET OUT THE LAWS THEY MUST LIVE BY. THEY ARE PART OF A BROADER “SONGLINE”, A SERIES OF SONGS SUNG BY TRIBES THROUGHOUT THE REGION AND BEYOND, THAT RECOUNT THE JOURNEY OF THE CREATOR AS HE TRAVELED THE LAND GIVING THE PEOPLE THEIR LAW AND CULTURE. “SONGLINES ARE A LIBRARY OF INFORMATION. THEY ARE MANY THINGS: A ROAD MAP, A BIBLE, OUR HISTORY. THE EXAMPLES AND STORIES IN SONG-LINES GUIDE THE WAY WE LIVE AND GIVE US OUR UNIQUE CULTURAL IDENTITIES. BUT OUR CULTURE AND HISTORY IS AN ORAL CULTURE AND HISTORY AND IF IT IS NOT TALKED ABOUT IT’S FORGOTTEN. IN ORDER FOR OUR CULTURE TO SURVIVE IT MUST MOVE FROM ORAL TO DOCUMENTED. WE MUST USE ANY DEVICES AT OUR DISPOSAL TO KEEP OUR TRADITIONS ALIVE.” ELDER ROY WIGGAN REVEALED HIS KNOWLEDGE OF DJUGUN SONG AND DANCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SONGLINE. UNTIL THIS POINT IN TIME IT WAS THOUGHT THE SONGS AND DANCE PRACTICES HAD BEEN LOST. DJUGUN PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED THROUGH MANY WAVES OF COLONISATION AND DISCONNECTION FROM CULTURAL PRACTICE IN THE BROOME REGION. DJUGUN PEOPLE CONFIRM BROOME IS THEIR SOVEREIGN COUNTRY.
