Film screening: Returning patrula | Fire & namanu rruni | Albatross Island

A double bill of two stunning short documentary films from Tasmania’s RUMMIN Productions.

Returning patrula | Fire – Filmed in the midlands plains of lutruwita / Tasmania, this is the story of an unusual alignment between a farmer, a scientist and the Tasmanian Aboriginal community. From a simple idea to run a science experiment emerged the story of a community returning an important cultural fire practice and reconnecting to lands where brutal dispossession took place.

namanu rruni -Albatross Island takes the viewer to a place almost entirely unseen. It is a journey to a remote and beautiful corner of Tasmania and into the lives of the endemic shy albatross that live on only three islands around Tasmania, and the scientists that are working to ensure the species survival.
