Sweet Country - Central Victorian Indigenous Film Festival 2024

The Central Victorian Indigenous Film Festival is back in 2024 to celebrate National Reconciliation Week. Experience a range of films, videos, activities and discussions in local venues and online. This year’s festival showcases an exciting range of First Nations films, documentaries and videos starring and telling stories about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People from Central Victoria and across Australia. 

Join us on Sunday June 2 for a screening of Sweet Country as part of the Central Victorian Indigenous Film Festival. 

Inspired by real events, Sweet Country is a period western set in 1929 in the outback of the Northern Territory, Australia. When Aboriginal stockman Sam (Hamilton Morris) kills white station owner Harry March (Ewen Leslie) in self-defence, Sam and his wife Lizzie (Natassia Gorey-Furber) go on the run. They are pursued across the outback, through glorious but harsh desert country. Directed by Warwick Thornton. Released 2017. 

Sweet Country is rated MA15+ and may cause discomfort to First Nation Peoples. Views discretion advised.

This screening is hosted by North Central Catchment Management Authority as part of CVIFF.
