Picnic at Hanging Rock, with guest Mileta Rien
Fans of Twin Peaks have long discussed the uncanny resonances between the series and Peter Weir's 1975 film Picnic at Hanging Rock. Indigo, Hilary, and Mileta enter this ongoing conversation with an additional focus on the 1967 novel by Joan Lindsay that inspired Weir's film.
Show notes from Mileta:
If you would like to help support to Aboriginal people's ongoing efforts toward self-determination, please consider donating to
Seed Indigenous Youth Climate Network
Empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people to protect Country, culture and communities.
***
A moving discussion of displacement, both historical and contemporary:
Sydney Writers Festival 2021 Opening Night Address.
'Writers Melissa Lucashenko, Tara June Winch and Evelyn Araluen discuss literature, who gets a voice, and the ways that stories define and shape us all.'
***
I meant to talk about the Aboriginal tracker character in Picnic, who is given no dialogue and, to add insult to injury, fails where white-knight Mike succeeds. In the film he appears once in the background and then only briefly.
The film Tracker turns a critical gaze on this aspect of Australian history:
