SBS screens our film The Habits Of New Norcia and is available on SBS on Demand.

THE HABITS OF NEW NORCIA

A 53 minute documentary

This is the story of the Benedictine Aboriginal Mission at New Norcia, now a popular tourist nostalgia destination north of Perth, as told by former Aboriginal “inmates” who were placed in and tormented by this institution for the “care” of indigenous children separated from their families during the 1920s through to the 1960s –

“An orphanage without orphans”

“The Habits of New Norcia” challenges the quaint history that is dressed up for tourism and which is propagated at the Mission today, with the return of a repressed, violent and moving history, recalled by the “inmates” themselves.

A composer friend of mine Valery Niazon wrote a piece of music for his Mum who recently passed away and for his dad who had died earlier.

Two choreographers and dancers set his composition “Rain Of Life”, to dance.

It was recently performed at the fringe festival.

With the permission of the composer and dancers I embed the film here. I found it very moving so I am sharing it. 

Stay well.

Carmelo has just returned from filming at Comic-Com International in San Diego for a Nick Dunlop documentary Comic Book Story.

The story of the malleefowl then is incontrovertibly married to the story of its human advocates and co-habitants, and journeys into the hearts and minds of the malleefowl believers; their reverie, bad jokes, good jokes, anger, passion, camaraderie, whimsy… it is a tribute to their action, their belief that in some part their lives hinge on the survival of the malleefowl. The stories of our malleefowl believers, most of whom are members of the Malleefowl Preservation Group, reveal a natural world to die for. A natural world as precious, as mysterious, as thrilling as anything on earth, and a community of mind that makes you wish you were one of their company.
