About Nunga Screen
Nunga (Aboriginal people of southern South Australia) Screen is presented by Country Arts SA with support from the South Australian Film Corporation.
Nunga Screen, held between Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week, is a short film showcase that shares and celebrates First Nations culture, stories and language through film. Nunga Screen is a curated short film program by First Nations filmmakers, or filmmakers who have produced films in collaboration with First Nations writers and directors.
Nunga Screen delivers inspiring documentaries, compelling tales, dramas, animation, contemporary to traditional storytelling – this film event is dedicated to bringing communities together to share in culture and engage in conversation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
2026 Program
This year’s program features a dynamic mix of short films from emerging and established First Nations filmmakers across Australia. From the cheeky, fast-paced adventures of Red Dirt Riders to the gentle, funny tale of The Fix-It-Man and The Fix-It Wooman and a music video collaboration between Dem Mob and Fregon Anangu School; the program offers plenty for family audiences.
The lineup also includes moving documentaries such as Anangu Way, following a father and son reconnecting through culture on Country, and Blakprint for Success, which highlights the importance of education, identity and Kaurna knowledge in shaping future generations. Dramas like Catchin’ Mumoo, The Secret and False Narrative bring raw emotional depth, exploring the complexities of family, truth and healing.
Nunga Screen is a celebration of culture, a chance to listen deeply and to come together in recognition of First Nations voices and stories.
Nunga Screen includes films suitable for primary aged students and up. This curated film event is presented in two parts. Films suitable for all ages are screened in the first half. Following a short interval, the second half of the program may include films not suitable for children.
