Drop-in Docos Spring Season at the NFSA

National Film and Sound Archive of Australia

Drop in every Saturday and Sunday for free screenings of Australian documentaries in the NFSA Theatrette. Their Spring Drop-in Docos program brings together powerful Australian stories shaped by the elemental forces that define our landscapes, communities and history. From the drought-stricken heart of rural Australia in Remembering Rain to the threatened ecosystems explored in Muddy Waters: Life and Death on the Great Barrier Reef, these films reveal the vital and often precarious relationship between people and the natural world. Themes of land, identity and custodianship emerge in On Sacred Ground, which chronicles the Noonkanbah dispute of mining in the Kimberley, and Lake Pedder, documenting the environmental battle sparked by the flooding of one of Tasmania's natural treasures. The devastation caused by natural disaster is captured in When Will the Birds Return, an account of Darwin's recovery following Cyclone Tracy, while Nancy Bird Walton celebrates Australia's pioneering aviator and the spirit of exploration embodied by the skies above. Together, these documentaries offer a compelling journey through Earth, Water, Fire and Air, illuminating the forces that continue to shape Australia's environment, culture and future.
