Okay, taking pictures. Are these images deserve pop and get behind it is in the 1930s reacting to an Australia and explore around with a Movie Camera. At that time, these people knew nothing that the outside world. Let me now get 60 years later and above and you get a mark on the northern Australia and behind the camera. Continuing a Western tradition of inquiry, including other people’s lives or somebody already. So it’s so good. Whenever I tell somebody got one document and it took me a long run and stop markers, you know, I must wrestle. You remember that? You want to listen to you. Thank you so much. Money on camera. You know, like I’m sorry, I’ll never use spatial ******* and move nine. Nobel litigation. We have this beautiful I haven’t, sorry, I haven’t shared it with one’s eyes. When I first went to Pangaea in 1970, Christians and representation than the idea of filming another culture when contentious. And I was idealistic about what filmmaking can achieve with, is still in effect a colony of Australia. Things begin to change very quickly with self-government coming in 1973 and independence and 75. The early 1970s began a period of social and cultural experiment. And it is a time of great optimism. I’m one of a group of Australia and filmmakers who’ve lived in width if in the early seventies making films which have documented that extraordinary period of change. Anybody wanted I don’t that have been given model. You might want to do. Certainly we saw so agents and anti-racism. We were 760 sided liberal ideology aware where the idea is, the idea of equivalent civil causes and kinda arrived. Yet, yeah, learning to make up an edgy things differently was all tied up with willing to respect other people. Filming more. The new, newer techniques have seen Samsung Pay and they imply that whole new way of looking at people as well as making films. When I first met Gary, he was making films is kind of an education program or the administration. Here’s follow that. The film little pendentive said rock. At the time of their early films, documentaries was sitting as a way of communicating with largely illiterate village societies and helping to create a sense of national identity are going to die. It’s something that’s too easy to forget today in the age of television and the centralized in one of the most in life. And when I came in the hundreds of nights out in remote villages on beaches than the size of bridges, you know, showing films to people who had, were in the film and seeing them. We define themselves away at the very point of seeing themselves reflected in the film. Before we were making progress, a plethora of thumbs are being made about Pokemon. You can, mostly by the old come home in it. And they weren’t made an old paternalistic style when there was this pompous voice, I were telling the audience what they were thinking. Experimental area, a plant that run the machine is evident by nakedness, knew that the agent that you’re going to be great and they’ve got to train, kept me going. And it was only with hourly worker, the language and the complexity of the thoughts. The poetry was revealed to be the same as our standard since I got my business. Today, you’ll find buffet. You got you got the money. Go to our next module. I’ve got Robin, Jensen, Gary continue to explore ways of zooming and co-directed assume about the first national election after independence and had so many discussions Dennis lie about what is, what is truly cinematic. But of course, working in top. And indeed, it was relatively easy because since so much, so much that was happening, the way people express themselves was the center of it. So, so lively move we will always kind of push, push cinema, cinema. It’s to find it to get good at it. We return back that way. Like most good and I mentioned it will films I think it can denote by a kind of excellent. I mean, it wasn’t an accident. The parallel I was standing on this bend in the husband’s highway, funding them up in the morning with a manager role that we didn’t know that he was coming around. We were looking for him and then suddenly this Toyota arousing Shimbun came around the bend and John’s there and is off the truck and he’s trying to impress us and and interests the villages and he drives open-end. Little, disappears around the bend to people who were still on the side of the road, um, spread with the hits in front of the camera and give us the bill story about what’s going to happen. Now I don’t need you, but I’m actually I’m even I don’t know. But anyway. But anyway, that should be like a restaurant until now by two and I don’t blame you guys. Let me state what is in that mind-blowing thing in piano, my Brooklyn because you can visit at allowing or cutting, go to bed. With the adoption of Western political and economic systems, there was concern that happened. Leanings, unique cultures would be overwhelmed. For the 20 years since two lives in G has made a series of films for the government which Explorer tradition and change at the village level. As populating it wears on with the rapid social change that’s taken place. Aspects of initiation or an hour longer, performed in many societies for whole variety of reasons through the influence of fundamentalist Christians, so on and so on. And if you don’t have initiation, you don’t have knowledge that at least Future generations will bear to look at what therefore forefathers weren’t. But then that raises the problem. And if you use, they then become like us, the Hillman, because they’re looking at their ancestors were without fully understanding. In 1975, I traveled to remote area and the wysiwyg, which was just beginning to experience these things and development. United in the Renaissance. Two people have them. Imagine existence, surviving months at a time by hunting in the day bush and how the steam the second time. We come with anthropologist Alfred go to film the ceremony. It’s an elaborate fertility ritual which takes place at the two days and nights and was traditionally performed annually every seven years. We set off in this great roger like the show? Yes. Otherwise, this pressure on us that this was because of this. They dislike casually events, right? Building and other things that maybe this would be the last time the clans come back to laminates and visitors come from other hamlets. And IDA becomes an enormous celebration. Young people participate and it’s a whole nation establishing moral society that re-establishing its national history. It’s also expresses how does relate to nature. Choreography of the dance and the various characters that mythological characters that come in and out. This the cosmology, which is two figures run into the arena. They both point to the four corners of the compass. And then they fire each far as symbolic and right. At that point in time, we’ve been children continuously 48 hours. And I only had one magazines. And with that, the actual confine, the finale of the whole event. I could feel my tinnitus shaping and I finally made the decision to turn the handle rationally, suddenly come back again. Just told them first the plane fired his era. And that was the footage. Defense an isomer first contact was ugly. We’re seeing documented the actual encounter between the explorer, representatives of one culture and another anomaly. Not think that there was a very happy conjunction and a y length. This particular cultural context, which is like the last chapter in the gut, the European colonial expansion that started with, with the Spanish and the port to do kind of in the middle of the 20th century. So the cameras were, were, were very well-developed. Pop commonly and Robert Anderson came across in film taken by the first Australian and explore and z into the hind limbs in the 1930s. Nobody interviewed people heard, witnessed those first encounters. What would I do a little bit about me and I remove an item. Every time we go into the village. It was this, I think why he sang. We think why he thought you’d never can get sounds are sounds that people would come in. I mean, and then on top or bad. Could I it wasn’t just that I could rename the why. Why do I express their feelings about why observations, that’s just sad, wonderful. That’s a nice, exciting experience. I will hang. Joe was an X-ray. One of the first explorers, developed a coffee plantation, land belonging to the Gadigal people. In 1985, Robin Robin build a house on land between Germany and stay preheated to make a film about them. The family pattern. It’s more like locking script, do drama, situation. I mean era virtually living in a film script where you’re surrounded by always table. And I’ve got it kind of data and try and say switch at ways, paper, what situations you wanted film. Yeah, I’m a woman and Medina and I don’t like you, I didn’t die because of the ethical debate and into him wanted to accumulate money. Not so much resign aggrandizement, the first keyword, piano, do you want to, and so on. Um, and, and he was representing the sort of aspirations that asylums and everyone in capitalist society sort of head which is to accumulate money for the self. Now for the Danica, for him everything in so a shoe, in a sense. Bangladesh 60 percent duty on getting them. But the one problem, no balloon got under bend down. But again, when you have money, you didn’t embezzle that haven’t been doing anything other than that I gave you the end. They do one more thing the most. My time in Canada. Now, we found the position of Joe and the relationship that he had with a group of King Charles. The string, the interesting sort of a universal human. But since the forces that were the subjects of colonialism are often seen as passive victims of a process. What we don’t often seeing is how indigenous societies respond to. It’s like, well turbid culture and adapted to feminism. Seminary with local institutions were suppressed by Leninism and put the elements will fit and finish times of stress. We emerged in 1974, American anthropologist chair leech inverted getting killed to make a film about the way credibly know that it’s an adapted crickets. The main motivation of the chiefs of us who, who sponsored the project was to be seeing the same amount of content. But I guess from my point of view, we’re actually represents for our own purposes, for, for our own culture. And I just wanted to secrete EPO seconds. Like I said, I said that I thought of wildlife wildlife semicolon. Hi, I’m Dan. Chance may draw on recent events and commonplace things or to FBS. One popular out there called PK relates the shoe handedness of the field is to the stickiness. Couldn’t go out. You didn’t need this? Yes or no. I thought about that. That’s why part of the appeal, a turbine and cricket picked in the world is because it shows culture’s fighting back against fanaticism. The US finds his guilt little bit to neurosis in Western societies. Colonial got imitate. I said, well, we would possibly could run the film, but only if we can have the thin introduced by which you’re going to have to defend is the third and cricket, cricket content. And then my God. This is a very different view of my film of this spectrum. It’s simply a funny variation by the nakedness of them cricket. So myself and anthropologists, they apply differently as an explanation of that, of how culture has responded to the clinical experience in a very ingenious way and it’s a serious problem. Or about a year after I was in the turbulence making a film about traditional music. We view div, way of life for the current romantic nostalgia. Wanting to see in a Keynesian view of innocence and closeness to nature. No guitars and radios and chose images we triage and authentic traditional culture. I was making a film, this favorite, hostilities empowerment. And we tried to unpack some of our idealism, or did they just say, Look, we’re trying to retain your culture. And we’re trying to encourage cultural retention and all this sort of thing. Which point the anion about, I think that they would say, Oh, well that’s very nice. I need been redone. The villagers were surprised to have Christians. We asked about their lives. We were pretty preoccupied. That’s the importance of the task we’ve set ourselves. But it took us some time to understand the why they viewed us. Liang Da Vinci, she will get unless you want to blow, we shouldn’t at least in the pool. Lace won’t go backwards as well. I think nowadays, people on the same problem, I admit that I don’t understand them. Well, we thought there were no robbery. So things will album is no matter how well intentioned career to see another society, etc, and cultural meant to these ethical dilemmas could be for an indigenous filmmaker. That slope is one of many trained at the scooper on film school. I thought it was set up the nonlinearity to dramatic loved and production. An alternative to the insurance. Tv. Walsh calls me talk a lot about the ethics of the use of his hands. And then of course you can use instead. And so I don’t know, Academy. We found people long as snowfall, education and education for the things that we are trying to do, I guess flows to also show a demo or reconcilable making shoes. 00 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00. Not made this pen down and go and buy Johnston as kind of a training course offered in Paris by the French direct cinema workshop material. Yeah, thank you. Is firms that had been made when we were doing films about itself. Current age, king in Paris at that time in 1980 fashion. Nobody then I’m one of the participants. Nobody wanted to talk about all people. The Europeans, they quote me whether assurance about attracting age groups for them, which is young children, teenagers, and adults. We will not even show me a question. Want parish fun with this book? To be filmmakers of n sought was just wondering juncture need to understand that technology and Hammerstein, some of the language, the present language are present and how people are understanding, but it’s on the screen and help you compose it with us together. Let’s pick up this kernel to think about whether you have made human wanted to check that the weight in pounds. Well, you are taking their hard work. But it’s mainly just to spend time on models because that’s the thing that actually about a third lesson we’ll begin with, was that the style of filmmaking it wasn’t needed was one that only encouraged, seems to come out for themselves and not to be to be diminished by our own projects. Oh, yeah. That’s great. Especially ritual. And it all has to everything together. I think it was like this because actually it’s not. One of the most difficult things is what’s been happening next. He had done, was famous for his films on Aborigines in Australia, was invited to show when initiation ritual of the bereaved people by French anthropologist more risk or daily 1969. From that trip and a load of ten use laser produced two major series, 9 and 30. Now it’s on the breed. For that artistic energy. You need to go in terms of which one seems to be this huge initiation. Taking retina and mothers, women and about 90 million scientists and go through this, we’ll need to know about suddenly there’s this huge business of secrecy, which is the one uncomfortable thing come modeling. Couple of magical thing and it’s something I’ve had enough. I didn’t know much about filmmaking, but I knew enough about everything to somebody that they want us to tell this that is absolutely no doubt about that. Elders hoping to thoroughly document, to record the rituals, but insisted on control of access to the final films. I still can be shown publicly in Papua New Guinea. And only the first to say now that the seeds violence isn’t a piece of cake, they kind of really have to go through. Hardships will come out at the end. And that’s incredible, tough, strong man with Maslow’s like you’ve never seen before. You can carry a camera up and down without slipping or while I’m Robbie, normal kind of mapping radius with pastiche rushes in Netherlands. But to get to that stage center, is it a try the stuff in the filament? And it’s one thing to see in context, infinity now as you see it in place and it has a pace, the bits and pieces so that you get the feeling of clinical boys go through these ordeals with a huge challenge. Right now, Karachi colors. And this is a huge responsibility to treat that material with respect. I’m really sorry that my wanted. Rather than on a tree. A tree in the early 1980s, asked me to help translate some latency we see for me on beryllium and I wanted access to the film’s command. Colon was an initiating the first to truly informed in 1969, became an informant, should get a prisoner. In the first series was shown to elders me. And he asked me my bumbling DO. Okay, well, let’s split more than one thing. After that, that’s an absolute path is okay. It didn’t deal then before I was saying Paulownia vessel. And the unlucky one, multiline asked him, said Standish and I was missing thinking things. To several years collaborating with daily. Command wanted to see France himself. Wanted to say he was able to view the early films. Again. Gustavo. When I think about anytime anytime you want to be timely anymore or they didn’t know me well know. Okay. What am I? I’m down with that. Second camera holes in it cannot be a little bit less. I will put in this order, I don’t want any development model as well. Microphone is I’m a big one, blah, blah, blah. Let me know. And then the misleading then my performance did not want purple or making up your paintings. And nobody anymore Bismol little bit of work to do was to government beholders. So it was deeply, who’s down there? We go. Now. My other leg. Why are you walking through Sunday or Monday? We will certainly be a lot of sense. He pushed the Saturday tensor or dishwashers and the young son and lived for several months in a neuron and village. We did just wanted to make a detailed ethnographic film about the ancient ritual and sharp corner. I’d work hard and honestly at trying to make a film which was valorizing some ancient tradition. But the true dynamic of what was there was far more complex. And it was about the fact that, that changes are occurring in this village, which meant that the traditional And life would never be the same again. All right, bye. Bye guys. And then I divided it up, whether it’s a village itself in a generation of things was in tomorrow. But the one thing that I was never able to fill was, of course the scenes which without which there wasn’t a film that is, and catching the shock. Of course I was very afraid. And this idea of having to fill five miles out to sea or somebody like that in a typical Western response, was it something like that, that looks dangerous. You throw technology and they said, Well, look, if you really want to do this new listen to us, throw away that revenue you’ve got and we will make a new canoe. So I followed the instructions that I was given and I got my inhibitions and took the expensive camera out on, onto the water. Because I realize that whatever we film that had to be done with, with intimate conversation occurring between me and my friends that are quotes. By looking nice and neat. In this case. Down on the very first day that we went out in this canoe doing it their way. And we paddled, got up before the die was decided by them, not by me. And we pedaled five hours until the village was be on the horizon and manage data to perform this magic rituals. And the shock was the film itself. As a finished out effect might look to be seamlessly constructed in a very natural. But getting to that point is, is always much messier. And just like life is much nicer. Or Crusoe, and it has worked for the PNG government, has played a major role for both overseas and PNG filmmakers. Films and gold long-term collaboration with village communities. I don’t want I got it. Well, I didn’t know about the United. Up on again. I nap. When I talked to several years away, Professor Joe Boy code returned to his village to burner, to celebrate his academic achievements for these people and Crusoe and made a film about the issues confronting Joan Ernie’s we turn, the focus of the events has to be the re-creation them an ancient dance drama. Much. Tamara is by any stick, extremely isolated right in the middle of the rainforest. And I think a lot of people in the West, they are not aware of the complexity that religion, politics see. They sort of developmental issues that the country is. The demands, an expectation on a personalized genre are absolutely enormous. I would never do that right now if I now another thing that I want to now again, I said that again, I would recommend that people are concerned about the future and there is no trickle-down. Government was very little information getting out to those communities. And he’s seen as a conduit for development. For a walk. I’m going to put in there wasn’t a lot of things. I don’t want you to see things. And then we tell you what. I mean. I’d like somebody just about twice. I’ve got maybe they didn’t know better. Now, yeah. I know somebody. That was my hand is that my supervisor? Will I will I will do I find out what the audio tones hadn’t been performed in John’s village since I think before the Second World War. And Java’s successful. Matt, who is able to stage this ancient dance. He wanted it performs not just for the sake of performance, but to created the dialogue to get the community is on that bend in the river to become reflective about their history and have some sort of collective debate over that poor my period about where they were doing. We would update and make a film about how the galaxies, your data spindles money from their joint confidence. That was what the chapter got. A massive company collects. It will get rid of that movement. The movement. Five years after filming generalized night, his pub commonly in Robin, and to return to the highlands for the young daughter and build another house on land betray GLA County because they didn’t plan to stay for a year of showing how many people are very stressed out by the by the issue that we can send you that which was shy, right? The Lang, Lang, the anticipation of pretends. That really was obsessed with and I went very anxious about the whole thing. And why my grandfather. Well, yeah, that I think I don’t, but I believe that we do that then I will go ahead and think about the moment that I don’t know. If it’ll open up, the moment by the Babylonians with the native data will begin. We’re now going to make it or the whole term like a one a lot faster. So there was no sense of which there was a safe place. You could be consumed from the dispersed to get the best material for the course. And frequently the whole battle spin around its axis. So with the enemy, 30-second seven, after having Davis with pigment, can see we’re filming this at the time, worse and worse as we were inevitably drawn into it. That’s the Like button on the right, the stages for a book. I’m very nasty. When we took a couple of people in the hospital bill then. And that was tied to the wrong one. So much prized neutrality. So that’s, that’s one of the kind of almost impossible film. This would be well, black artists was some submitted by our American agents for the academy nominated card system. They apparently were some members of the academy nominating committee felt that the seeds of warfare and the film was so extraordinary that time I’ll stay for the stylist. But to imagine that the arch that 5 thousand Harlem warriors would fight and kill each other over a period of 12 months with a list of 1300. Now for the sight of our camera with the sort of thing that viruses with my sex. It was Hollywood could come up to me about, why thought, I might go. Hey, why? Cowboy was it before Roscoe for outlaw became the main character in the film we made about urban migrants. And the law school buses with me and listen, like you still need money. Money. Shouldn’t English of life. Over time or Gothenburg can voice family. Like many other people in the settlements where you get to speak to the camera. So no one else seemed interested in the storage rack right there. You know. What? Well, why why is that? Well, that means that they like mountain. I don’t know. It was there was still the finished film. He said it was okay. Videos to battle the scenes we left out. In the sense of whom is a bad one cannot know. The conventions of filmmaking often discards the film is fragments of people’s lives. When I made accountable to us, I wasn’t living in Papua New Guinea, I was living here in Australia. And I had already made several films by that stage, which situated in company and accountable to us, was a trip back there. And to make a film which actually commented on some of these ideas about representation and really a purpose. So a comment on my enroll there over the years as a filmmaker was about film, about the act of photography itself. And I look on the nozzle. Hello, my name. No, thanks. And suddenly I need it. I think the film is full of moments where I might reference to how complicit I am as a filmmaker and bifurcation the audience is watching my pills, is, is in any process which shakes to document something as every day as wealthy tourists visiting each proceed to highway to my the dollar US and piggy. And he says full of Shannon said, yes. Of course, you know what I’m saying is loaded with several meetings. What’s a highway to make a dollar to allow her to photograph them or to allow me to asking questions. It’s all meant. It’s important to be reflected. The Christian, the way in which we represent the lives of elements. The cameras, if they mostly have heads, then I can sympathize with the man in the market. Yeah, I think that’s wrong. So to be able to catch it. Hi, everybody.
