After three sold out screenings in the Northern Rivers since March, Luku Ngärra: The Law of the Land is returning for one final encore at The Regent in Murwillumbah on Sunday 30 July at 5.30pm.
This independent, Indigenous-funded film is gaining huge traction across the country and internationally. Just in the last week it featured at Melbourne Documentary Film Festival and won the ‘Human Rights Award’ at Montreal Independent Film Festival.
The NT premiere of the film is scheduled for August and has already sold out six weeks in advance. From Darwin it will then head to Alice Springs and London before an online release scheduled for later in the year.
Local filmmaker Sinem Saban has been deeply humbled by the response to the film which has taken her five years to complete on a shoestring budget. ‘We have no resources to hire a PR or advertising team, but the impact of the film and the power of word-of-mouth has meant we are selling out our screenings regardless.’
Don’t miss out on this final screening in the Northern Rivers, Sinem will be there for Q+A. Tickets available through the venue. Booking in advance is recommended at www.the-regent.com.au.
