The Boomerang International Indigenous
Film Festival (BIIFF) will be launched featuring shorts, documentary and
feature films including the award winning Reel Injun featuring Clint
Eastwood and Adam Beach.
Boomerang Festival aims to be accessible.
With early bird offers we feature an array of music, dance, theatre,
comedy, film and visual arts, along with cultural knowledge exchanges
and thought provoking conversations.
I'll be there for one, maybe two days.
I wish I could afford all three days, but I'm lucky to be going at all with my dwindling finances.

I'm looking forward to it.
This looks great Daz! Though, I can't help but feel a little bit disappointed that there will be no seagull boomerang-chucking this year. :-(

It's right next to the beach and I do own a boomerang,but I can see the seagull avoiding my rang and it coming back and knocking me out .-)
I still haven't decided which day I'm going to go,either.I can only afford one day,so It may be Saturday since I really like Gurrumul and Xavier Rudd's music,but I've seen them before and John Williamson is playing Sunday and that will be the closing ceremony,but then again it would be cool to go Friday as that is the first ever day,but the line up isn't so strong.
Decisions,decisions :-(
You have such cool things going on in your area, Daz. Australia keeps moving up on my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! All sounds great - look forward to the photos.
