Reframing Stolen Narratives: The Cinema of Warwick Thornton

This film is currently not available.   

Premiering his new film Wolfram in Competition, Warwick Thornton joins Berlinale Talents to reflect on his work as both director and cinematographer. Drawing from his Indigenous Australian background, Warwick’s films including Samson & Delilah and Sweet Country engage deeply with questions of stolen land, his Kaytetye identity, and the lasting presence of colonial violence. In this conversation, Warwick Thornton outlines his approach to cinema as a space for storytelling including history that has been erased or denied. Through image, silence, and duration, Warwick Thornton disrupts dominant narratives and visual conventions, operating between beauty and brutality, intimacy and distance, refusing an easy resolution.
