| Comments |
This is a very comprehensive article which not only reviews the From Sand To Celluloid shorts but also provides information concerning the politics of indigenous representation, the history of Aboriginal involvement in the Australian film industry and the motivation behind the From Sand To Celluloid drama initiative.
While Hunter believes that the collection of films present a unified voice based on the themes implicit in the films, he also acknowledges their inherent differences in style, content and atmosphere.
