Following a sold-out screening at the Brunswick Picture House, Defend the Wild and Dingo Culture are proud to host a double screening event on Saturday, 13 June in Evans Head, on Minyumai Country, whose rangers feature in the film.
The event will showcase a screening of Moort Calling Dingo Back to Country, followed by a special second screening of Landholders for Dingoes film Wooleen: Utilising Dingoes as a Management Tool, followed by a discussion panel and audience Q&A.
Moort Calling Dingo Back to Country is a powerful short film that highlights the deep cultural, spiritual, and familial connection between First Nations people and the dingo. Across south-west Western Australia, moort means family – and that is what dingo is: kin.
The film illuminates the enduring relationship between Cultural Custodians and Australia’s only wild canid, while also revealing the profound loss felt in places where dingoes have been eradicated through widespread killing programs. Even where they are physically absent, the dingo remains present in Songlines, stories, and spirit – and the call for his return grows stronger.
Screening on Saturday, 13 June at 5pm at Club Evans RSL. Tickets and more info at www.defendthewild.org.
