Written transcript of October 2009 Letter from Australia: Reading Samson and Delilah
Many critics are acknowledging Warwick Thornton's Samson and Delilah as Australia’s cinematic masterpiece of all time. The film is so rich that volumes can be written about it. In this Letter from Australia we see the film as emerging from a flukey creative space that has emerged around grass roots community media organisations like CAAMA in Alice Springs and Goolarri in Broome. It is time to get serious about funding and investing in these creative anchor points for an Aboriginal film and media renaissance.

New songs from the studio of life. If you listen you will hear dogs barking, children playing, the answer and call of the Yolngu language. No sterile recording studio here. People come and go from their temporary accomodation close to the Gove Aluminium refinery. Midst the chaos and uncertainty, the beautiful purity of the Galpu women striving for a better life for their children and their families rings out. All proceeds from the sales of these songs go back to the Galpu community.
