Description

The Aboriginal Benefits Foundation Ltd is delighted to invite you to a private screening of the feature film Emu Runner (one of three 2018 ABF grant recipients) ‒ a project involving the community of Brewarrina and supported by the Trust through the Kulai Preschool Aboriginal Corporation in Coffs Harbour.

Proceeds from ticket sales will go towards projects supported by the Aboriginal Benefits Foundation Trust.

Australian film Emu Runner had its world premiere at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival in September 2018 and its Australian Premiere at the Adelaide Film Festival in October. You can view a trailer of the film here
.

Written by Imogen Thomas in consultation with Ngemba woman Frayne Barker, the film was set and shot in Brewarrina NSW.

Emu Runner tells the story of nine-year-old Indigenous girl, Gem Daniels (newcomer Rhae-Kye Waites), who lives in a remote Australian town. As she copes with her mother’s unexpected death, Gem finds solace in the company of a wild emu, unwittingly connecting with her mother’s traditional totem animal. This heart-warming and ultimately triumphant story plays out against the pressing issues and challenges that come from living in this isolated community.

The film stars actor/director Wayne Blair (Redfern Now, The Sapphires), Maurial Spearim (Wentworth, The Secret River), Georgia Blizzard (Home and Away, Thor: Ragnarok), Rob Carlton (Chandon Pictures) and introduces a stunning cast of newcomers in Mary Waites, Letisha Boney, Lindsay Waites, Rodney McHughes and Stella Carter.

Positioned near the banks of the Barwon River, Brewarrina is the traditional land of the Ngemba, Murrawarri, Ualari, Weilwan and Baranbinja people. Brewarrina was where up to 5,000 people came together by the stone fish traps that have been there for over 40,000 years. To this day the river continues to hold great significance as well as nourish its community.

You can view how the whole Brewarinna community was involved in the film here

We look forward to seeing you at the screening of Emu Runner.
