Screens with short films
No Way to Forget (1996)
Gunditjmara director Richard Frankland’s powerful short film is based on his experiences as a lawyer on the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. A young Koorie man travelling the lonely highways of the Australian outback reflects on the tragic experiences of Aboriginal people in Australian prisons. A passionate and eloquent indictment of the entrenched racism in Australian legal culture, Now Way to Forget is Blak noir cinema.
