Pig Feast – Colonialism in Our Time: Film Screening & Panel Discussion

A Fundraiser for grassroots Papua rights campaigns

Sat, 11 July, 7.30pm – 9.30pm

The Coolroom Cinema Northern Arts Hotel

Followed by a discussion with a West Papuan speaker and Indonesian activist group Melbourne Bergerak

What does “development” mean when it comes at the cost of Indigenous lands, lives, and futures? Join us for a screening of Pig Feast – Colonialism in Our Time, an investigative documentary examining contemporary colonialism, militarisation, and large‑scale development projects in West Papua. The film will be followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A connecting the documentary to wider activist debates on development, food security, and Indigenous land rights.

Supported by Free West Papua Central Vic and The Coolroom

The Coolroom Cinema is well known for its free Sunday Secret Movie Matinees and a selection of local, community and curated special interest cinema. The nightly Wimble Wall by Frank Veldze is a curated element of the program.
