Presented by Revelation Perth International Film Festival ·

Australiyaniality aims to explore Australia’s wellbeing. The key word liyan is a Yawuru word that relates to Aboriginal peoples’ view of their wellbeing. It is about the way they feel about themselves and relationship with their community.

27 Artists have come together from different disciplines and cultural backrgounds to interrogate their own Australian identity and explore what a better Australian identity would look like. Can it be re-shaped? What is good? What needs to change? What is our collective liyan? How do we materialise all of this into real action?

For this special program Rev is screening some of the best and most challenging Australian works in produced in recent years – and we can hardly wait to bring them to big screen in the highest of fidelity at The Backlot Perth.
