Join producer Shannon Swan at a Q&A screening of Gurrumul, presented by the Australian Film Institute-Australian Academy Cinema Television Arts.

Indigenous artist Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu was one of the most revered and acclaimed voices to ever come out of Australia. Blind from birth, and raised on Elcho Island in far North East Arnhem Land, Gurrumul found purpose and meaning through songs and music inspired by his community and country. Living a traditional Yolngu life, his breakthrough album ‘Gurrumul’ was critically acclaimed and universally loved which brought him to a crossroads as audiences around the world began to embrace his music.

Gurrumulis a portrait of an artist on the brink of global reverence, and the struggles he and those closest to him faced in balancing that which mattered most to him and keeping the show on the road.

Following the screening, producer Shannon Swan will participate in a Q&A hosted by Richard Fabb (Director, LiveLab at Griffith Film School).
