The First ever First Nations film festival on the NSW South Coast, celebrates the diversity and creativity of First Nations filmmakers across Australia, and the courage and resilience of the storytellers, some of whom come from the South Coast. Building on the legacy of early First Nations filmmakers, the program includes recent works by young Indigenous filmmakers, including Be A Proud Voice For Country, a short film made by students from Vincentia High School and the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. Program includes 4 feature films, 7 documentaries and 13 short films, across 6 sessions. Tickets for single sessions on sale from 1 September. To find out more information, click the link below!
Danielle Snelling, Co-founder and Executive Officer of Motherless Daughters Australia, talking about how a new world-first study is shedding light on the impacts of mother loss on Australian women in an effort to inform future support pathways, with community reports that grief is being dismissed by society. While riding the waves of grief, Danielle decided to invest her time and channel her energy into creating the support network she would have liked available and to change the path for future motherless daughters. In 2013, she reached out on an American Mother Loss Facebook page with the hopes of finding a Victorian-based woman in the same shoes and who might share her vision to connect girls and women whose mothers have died. Danielle’s Co-Founder Eloise Baker responded and the two met where they discussed all things mother loss. It was here the idea of Motherless Daughters was born.
