I'm a film about traditional Aboriginal life. I show you lots of naked men talking in their native tongue, that's why there are subtitles. The central story is about teaching a young man Aboriginal ways.

Ten Canoes
Walkabout
My Survival As An Aboriginal
The Naked Country

Ten Canoes not only shows you lots of (mainly male) nudity, but also the story of Dayindi who covets one of the wives of his older brother. To teach him the proper way, he is told a story from the mythical past, a story of wrong love, kidnapping, sorcery, bungling mayhem and revenge gone wrong. More details

I tell you the story of four Aboriginal sisters who dream of becoming famous singers. Their dream comes true when they can sing for soldiers. Before I was made there already existed a play of the same name.

Aboriginal Heart
The Sapphires
Queen of the Desert
Nundhirribala's Dream

The Sapphires tells the story of the McCrae sisters, four Aboriginal singers from country Victoria whose biggest dream is to become as famous as their Motown idols. The film is an adaptation of the stage musical. Plucked from obscurity and branded as Australia’s answer to The Supremes, the Sapphires grasp the chance of a lifetime when they’re offered their first real gig – entertaining the troops in Vietnam.

I'm Australia's first feature film to use Aboriginal actors in the lead roles, and the first to be filmed in colour. I tell the story of an adopted Aboriginal girl who is raised as a white girl until she is abducted by an Aboriginal man. I am so old that my restoration took a long time.

Uncivilised
Journey out of Darkness
Shadow of the Boomerang
Jedda

Jedda is the first Australian feature film with Aboriginal actors and to be filmed in colour. It tells the tragic story of a young Aboriginal girl adopted by a white woman who raises her as a white child, isolating her from Aboriginal contact. But when Marbuck, an Aboriginal man, arrives on the station, the girl is fascinated by him. Marbuck takes the girl as his captive, returning to his tribal lands, only to find he is rejected by his tribe for breaking the marriage traditions. More details

I am a comedy and tell a story that is the opposite of what really happened. My name does not exist in any dictionary, but sounds very familiar. I'm not very long, but known and loved by many.

Bran Nue Dae
Babakiueria
Manganinnie
Murundak

Babakiueria takes a sarcastic look at racial stereotypes. It starts with a boat approaching a barbeque area and a group of Aboriginal people taking possession of this area and all "Babakiuerians". It presents many Aboriginal issues with the roles swapped: White people are a minority, white kids are taken from their families or white people being moved to a void place because the black government needs their home for "something".

I'm not an easy film to watch as my story is very moving and sometimes sad. I brought national attention to an issue that many would like to forget. My topic is so important that a politician in a landmark speech said words that made many Aboriginal people cry. There is an animal in my name.

Marluku Wirlinyi – Kangaroo Hunters
Blackfellas (Day of the Dog)
Rabbit Proof Fence
Black Panther Woman

Rabbit Proof Fence brings to the public with rare intensity the topic of the Stolen Generations. It tells the true story of three aboriginal girls who are forcibly taken from their families to be trained as domestic servants. They make a daring escape and embark on an epic 1,500 mile journey to get back home - following the rabbit-proof fence that bisects the Australian continent - with the authorities in hot pursuit.
