Nunga Screen is held annually between Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week and is a FREE short film showcase for all ages that shares and celebrates First Nations culture, stories and language through film.

Formerly known as Black Screen, Nunga Screen features an entertaining program of independent films, from emerging to the more established filmmakers. Inspiring docos, compelling dramas, quirky animation, contemporary to traditional storytelling – this film event is dedicated to bringing communities together to share in culture.

The curated program of short films is rolled out across South Australia to more than 20 regional venues and communities from cinemas to country halls to outdoor theatres.  A schools program is catered for with appropriate age and curricula day-time screenings.

Films are selected by a call-out for Expressions of Interest.  If you have a passion for film and are First Nations filmmaker, or have produced a film themed around reconciliation, then we would love to hear from you. Look out for our EOI opportunity early each year.

Inspired by the National Film & Sound Archive’s Black Screen program, Nunga (First Nations people of southern South Australia) Screen is presented by Country Arts SA  with support from the South Australian Film Corporation.
