Living Waters Short Film Event

Living Waters is a Short Film Event exploring interconnectedness and our belonging to the earth and each other being held on September 1st, 6.30pm at Maleny Community Centre.

Along with films from across the world, we are especially pleased to be able to screen the award winning Katale (Mudskipper), by Sunshine Coast filmmaker John Harvey. This film features Bangarra Dance Theatre performers Elma Kris and Waangenga Blanco Katale. Mudskipper is a joyous slice of magic realism that bursts from the screen with vivid cinematography, enchanting dance sequences and an uplifting connection to Country. In it, a Torres Strait Islander woman is toiling away at a Brisbane laundromat when she’s visited by a man embodying the spirit of the mudskipper. Co-written by respected Torres Strait Islander leader Walter Waia and winner of Best Australian Short Film at Flickerfest, Katele. Mudskipper allows the spirit of culture to shine through in a truly celebratory way.

The films are followed by a short panel discussion featuring Katale Film-maker John Harvey, renowned permaculture expert Robyn Clayfield, and Anglican priest, Rev'd Deb Bird. Tickets cost $10 through the Horizon Festival website: www.horizonfestival.com.au
