The Art of Dreamtime

Made by: Zoe Davis

Synopsis

Artist Georgina Brown remembers a time when she and her family wandered the Gibson Desert, completely oblivious to the existence of European/Australian society. With her paintbrush she recreates the memory of a nomadic life in the bush and recalls her first ever encounter with the non-indigenous settlers.

The making of this film was a rare historical opportunity to meet with one of the few surviving indigenous Western Australians to remember a completely nomadic existence.
