RMIT University is thrilled to partner with Birrarangga Film Festival for their Opening Night screening and celebration.
Featuring a Welcome To Country performance from Djirri Djirri and opening remarks from Festival Director Tony Briggs, this will be a night of celebrating First Nations culture, and honouring the festival's 2025 theme of "Telling our stories our way".
Acclaimed film 'Je'vida' will be screened, a Finnish Skolt Sámi-language drama which depicts an aunt and her niece who've never met before driving to Lapland to empty a house they've inherited. Turns out the withdrawn and distrusting aunt had been a victim of the assimilation policies and the niece has to make a big decision. By taking interest in each other they find value in themselves and their roots.
Also screening is Aotearoa short film 'First Horse', which explores a small girl in an isolated setting coming into first contact with two facets of colonisation: a foreign infectious disease and the first horse she's ever seen.
