We’re excited to announce that Sukundimi Walks Before Me will have its Australian premiere at @sydfilmfest in June, competing in the Documentary Australia competition and the Sustainable Future award.

We’re even more thrilled that Producer and Project Sepik Director Emmanuel (Manu) Peni, and his Project Sepik colleague Shayanne Waide, will be joining us for the premiere.

Produced in collaboration with Project Sepik, Sukundimi Walks Before Me centres the mighty Sepik River, a 1,126km river in the Sepik region of Papua New Guinea and the lifeblood of Sepik communities. The film documents the Sepik people’s resistance to a proposed gold-copper mine that risks polluting and eroding the crucial waterway. At its heart, it is a story of guardianship, ancestral responsibility, and collective refusal in the face of proposed vast extraction.

A huge thanks to the incredible people, crew and partners who made this film possible, including Jubilee Australia, Environmental Defenders Office and the Save the Sepik campaign.

And most of all we express our heartfelt gratitude to the Sepik people, for their collaboration, trust and generously sharing their story.

Screening dates as follows and link in bio:

– Thursday 11th June, 6pm, Event Cinema George Street
– Saturday 13th June, 2pm, Dendy Newtown

Sukundimi Walks Before Me is produced by Brown Sugar Apple Grunt and Walking Fish Productions , and presented by Screen Australia in association with Pacific Islanders in Communication, Doc Society Climate Story Fund, The Post Lounge and VicScreen, with support from Random Good, Shark Island Foundation, New Zealand Film Commission, Three Springs Foundation and RNZ. Australia and Aotearoa distribution by Screen Inc. … See MoreSee Less

Speaker Announcement – OAS Forum XIV

Oceanic Art Society Forum XIV
Forum | Saturday 14 November 2026

Burrinja, Victoria, Australia

Don’t forget to save the date for the Oceanic Art Society’s Fourteenth Forum to be held at the Burrinja Cultural Centre on the outskirts of Melbourne on Saturday 14 November in conjunction with the opening of Billy Missi’n Wakain Thamai.

Join us to hear Dr Jude Philp, Senior Curator, Macleay Collections at the Chau Chak Wing Museum, University of Sydney, University of Sydney, speak on her latest research on trade routes and exchange methods of natural history trading in the 19th century Torres Strait.

With a focus on the Torres Strait, the Key Note speakers already confirmed include Dr Leah Lui-Chivizhe, a cultural historian of the Torres Strait Islands and researcher at the The University of New South Wales (UNSW). Her current research focuses on how to work with nineteenth century museum collections from the Torres Strait in ways that strengthen Islander connections to pre-colonial histories of human and more-than-human relations and contribute to decolonial praxis in collector institutions.

Come and hear Professor Ian McNiven, professor of Indigenous archaeology at the Monash Indigenous Studies Centre at Monash University in Melbourne, provide his latest update on aspects of his research on the complex interchange between the indigenous peoples of North Queensland, Papua New Guinea and the Torres Straits Islands as revealed by ethnographic artefact distributions.

More details will follow but put this date in your 2026 diary as this event is not to be missed.
