Sommario/riassunto

"The product of years of embedded fieldwork within Indigenous film crews in Northwestern Australia, Dreaming Down the Track delves deeply into Aboriginal cinema as a transformative community process. Engaging the film career of Kukatja elder Mark Moora, William Lempert demonstrates the impact of filmmaking on how Aboriginal futures are collectively imagined and called forth"-- Provided by publisher.
