Quoting the film's website
Ten Canoes
"It is the distant past, tribal times. Dayindi (played by Jamie Gulpilil, son of the great David Gulpilil) covets one of the wives of his older brother. To teach him the proper way, he is told a story from the mythical past, a story of wrong love, kidnapping, sorcery, bungling mayhem and revenge gone wrong.
In English storytelling (by David Gulpilil) and subtitled Ganalbingu language, this is a film unlike any you have ever seen." To see a trailer click here

The launch was great, held in a multiplex in Darwin with actually 3 theatres opened for the crowd. Rolf De Heer introduced some of the crew.
This is David Gulpilil arriving.
and here with wife and friends.
It was a fun night with a great crowd, I chatted with Sharyn and Elaine from Framed Gallery and their friends.
This is Val,Rod and Jessie who invited me to attend.
and this is myself with Val, a lifelong friend of Jessie's
from Launceston, Tasmania.
The after party was held at the
Northern Territory Parliament House.
This is Jamie Gulpilil who starred in the movie as Dayindi/Yeeralparil,
on the right at the after party
and with a younger friend!
and this is the coproducer and one of the stars, Richard Birrinbirrin (he played "Honeyman")
David was enjoying himself.
He encouraged the movie to be made
and whilst he did not appear in the movie, his was the storyteller's voice which was done with a lot of humour.
This was another one of the lead stars Crusoe Kurddall.
He played Ridjimiraril , a man with 3 wifes
