The Centre for Creative Futures present a special Christmas film screening of Manapanmirr, in Christmas Spirit and Q&A with directors.
During the late 1930's and 1940's missionaries introduced Christmas stories and rituals to East Arnhem Land. The film is a performative documentary made to affirm and share this Yolngu take on Christmas. Yolŋu families have embraced this new practice with an affinity for ceremony. In late October, thunderstorms roll in and Christmas preparations begin.
