Description:
This documentary chronicles the making of "Ten Canoes" in May 2005, in Central Arnhem Land. The film tells a story rooted in the traditions and language of the Aboriginal people who have lived on this land for millennia, predating the arrival of European settlers. For the Arafura Swamp community, the project represents a vital opportunity, perhaps a final chance to preserve their ancestral customs. The filmmakers face unforeseen difficulties, exceeding any initial expectations. Director Rolf de Heer describes it as his most challenging film, made in a profoundly unfamiliar place: Australia.
