This episode celebrates the rich history and diverse cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander filmmakers. We interview director and storyteller Douglas Watkin about his work at Screen Queensland as Content director of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander program. We discuss decolonising filmmaking, reflect on what makes an authentic Australian story and explore the challenges of filmmaking for First Nations peoples.

We acknowledge and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first storytellers of this land - Always Was, Always Will Be. You can find out more about the SQMOB initiative on the Screen Queensland website.
