Debil Debil

Overview

Twenty years ago, Tracey Moffatt became the first Australian Aboriginal woman to make a feature film, in the process polarising critics, who argued over whether BeDevil was a work of genius or a cinematic failure. Contemporary audiences will have the chance to make up their minds on Friday, April 19. Public intellectual and activist Professor Maria Langton AM has chosen BeDevil to open Debil Debil, an event combining a weekend-long cinema programme at Carriageworks with an exhibition at Anna Schwartz Gallery.

Saturday, April 20 will see screenings of Rachel Perkins's stirring musical drama, One Night the Moon, and two works directed by Ivan Sen: his psychologically penetrating Wind, and his intimate study of life on the mission, Toomelah. A series of short films will run on Sunday, including works by Wesley Enoch, Darlene Johnson, Beck Cole and r e a.

All screenings are free, but numbers are limited. Avoid disappointment by booking online.
