Film Event

‘Lalai Dreamtime’ (1972)

by Award Winning Director Michael Edols (1942-2018)

Lalai Dreamtime is a beautiful film by international cinematographer Michael Edols. In the 1970s, Aboriginal Elders of the Worrora of the Kimberley, asked Edols to use the ‘power of film’ to record their ancient stories. The task was to preserve for future generations their lore and culture in the face of the destruction of their Country. Lalai Dreamtime portrays the return of a Worrora Elder and his family to their Spirit Country. According to lore, ancestral beings are part of the landscape and govern the daily rituals of life. Witness the extraordinary Wudu ceremony between an elder and his grandchild. A powerful lesson in telling history, not to be missed.
