DIG DEEPER

Documentary | 2023 | Australia | 52 min | English | English subtitles

MARUNKA TJALATJUN (DIPPED IN BLACK)

Documentary | 2023 | Australia | 25 min | Yankunytjatjara | English subtitles
Starring: Derik Lynch; Christopher Stewart; Dominic Roberts; Dale Baker
Directed by Matthew Thorne & Derik Lynch

Lynch, a queer Anangu Yankunytjatjara theatre artist, escapes the oppression of white city life in Adelaide to return to his remote hometown of Aputula. Here, as memories from his childhood resurface, he will perform an Inma, his people’s traditional form of storytelling, on his ancestors’ sacred ground. It is through Inma that Anangu Tjukurpa (pronounced ‘chook-orr-pa’), the Anangu’s collection of myths and dreaming stories, have been passed down from generation to generation for over 60,000 years.
