Karrabing Film Collective: No Storyboard, No Script
<p><em>Trilingual in English, German, and Creole</em></p> <p>In the book accompanying Karrabing Film Collective’s exhibition <em>They pretending not to see us…</em>, some of the Indigenous Australian group’s around thirty members provide insight into the genesis and context of their most recent film, <em>Night Fishing with Ancestors</em>. A collage of images and writings introduces us to fish traps built by the ancestors, the bonds between people and their land, and their efforts—which include the group’s films—to pass down their traditions and myths to their children. An extensive essay by the anthropologist, filmmaker, and activist Massimiliano Mollona discusses Karrabing Film Collective’s work with reference to Third Cinema and positions it within Indigenous or Fourth Cinema, which, as an instrument of decolonization, points the way toward “unlearning imperialism.”</p>
