Page Number 16
Comments The article attempts at a direct quote of Rachel Perkins and her views towards the themes of famliy and Aboriginal film making. It is fairly informative but too short to be really thorough.
Synopsis The article highlights the universal theme of family, a pivotal theme throughout "Radiance". It's about Rachel making "black films" and being a pathfinder , challenging old views that Australian audiences are too racist to be in interested in Aboriginal
film. It also interestingly points out the pressure to make something successful "so that people believe Aboriginal people can make successful films." It gives a short brief on the relationships that exist between the actors and the director outside of the film making process.
