Five Star - David Dhalatnghu Gulpilil at Deckchair Cinema
Five Star - David Dhalatnghu Gulpilil
Be part of Yolngu actor David Dhalatnghu Gulpilil’s journey from the red-carpet, back to the red-dust road of Arnhem Land. During this intimate evening, being filmed for a documentary about this return home, his family share personal photographs, their most loved short films, including the five-star man’s own film-school movie, and their fondest memories.
In the words of eldest son Jida Gulpilil:
“In our culture, when someone passes, there is an order of things culturally. Like the message-stick which is shared around. You are welcome to join in this stage of the process, to be part of this final chapter of his story. This is part of the journey home for my father, who travelled the world, dined with the Queen, and lived in the long grass. His story continues as he travels home to Gulpulul, his final resting place. We welcome, with an open heart, his fans, friends and admirers to hear stories shared by those who walked alongside him, as he changed the world forever by shining a spotlight on Yolngu Culture and Australia.”
