Another Country
The late great Australian Aboriginal actor David Gulpilil tells us a story about the clash between old and new cultures, and the havoc that results.
Director: Molly Reynolds
Overview
In this deeply personal documentary, the late great Australian Aboriginal actor David Gulpilil tells us a story about the clash between old and new cultures, and the havoc that results as one comes to dominate the other. Gulpilil, Australia’s finest indigenous actor, has spent his adult life trying to navigate his way through these two very different, opposing cultures; that of his Yolngu people and that of the prevailing Australian culture. As the narrator in Another Country, he introduces us to these divided perspectives with first-hand insight.
Along with associated feature film Charlie’s Country (for which Gulpilil won the Best Actor award in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes 2014), Another Country is one of the Country suite of projects and was selected to screen at Cannes in 2016.
