We Of The Never Never

Set a century ago, this is the remarkable true story of Jeannie Gunn, a woman who fought to overcome sexual and racial prejudice amid the harsh beauties of the Outback. Leaving her genteel Melbourne existence for a new life on her husband's isolated cattle ranch, Jeannie's feisty, good-natured attitude soon wins over the misogynistic stockmen. But she faces a much tougher challenge in trying to change the racist attitudes towards the indigenous aboriginal population. Graced by glorious cinematography and an emotionally charged film score, this moving story is a superb product of the 'golden age' of Australian film-making.

Eija-Loosa Ahtila - The Cinematic Works

Eija-Loosa Ahtila's films and cinematic installations explore and experiment with storytelling, creating extraordinary tales out of ordinary human experiences. Her masterfully crafted narratives, touching portrayal of characters, and highly individual mode of expression have managed to capture the public's interest, whilst also winning critical acclaim. Dealing with teenage sexuality, family relations, mental disintegration and death, the films also investigate the processes of perception and attribution of meaning. By mixing and subverting the filmic rules of commercials, cinema verite, pop promos, trailers and documentaries with a lyrical dose of Nordic supernaturalism, the films attain an air of contemporary familiarity combined with intense oddness, giving Ahtila's work its distinctive style. Eija-Loosa Ahtila's films have won numerous film-festival awards and visual art prizes. As part of a retrospective of her installation works in some of the most prominent contemporary art galleries worldwide, the Eija-Loosa Ahtila: real characters, invented worlds exhibition at London's Tate Modern in 2003 exposed Ahtila to a wider British audience. This is the first time her films have been released in the UK. Includes a booklet with synopses and original scripts of all films in English.
