Nosferasta and This Is Our Country Too (Double bill)

About
Black Ark Media present an exciting and unique double bill accompanied by Q&A. Nosferasta (30 mins) explores the notion of colonialism by suggesting that once bitten, twice shy. In this case, it is the vampire Christopher Columbus who bites Oba and makes him eternally complicit in his settler project and crimes inferring that one can never truly be decolonized because it is in the blood. Directed by Adam Khalil and Bayley Sweitzer it gives a nod to its German expressionist precursor of 1922, Nosferatu.THIS IS OUR COUNTRY TOO (59 mins) looks at Australia
from the bottom up or should I say from the frog’s
perspective. Forget the stereotypical blond-haired
surfer dudes, with their perfect bodies and golden
skin riding the set waves or just laying back in
the hot sun on some sandy beach at peace with
themselves and the serenity of a splendid sea.
