Another Country is a 2015 documentary film about the intersection of traditional Australian Aboriginal culture and modern Australian culture. It features actor David Gulpilil narrating a story about his home community of Ramininging in the Northern Territory.[1]
The documentary examines how a traditional way of life has been disrupted by a dominant new culture, and the consequences that has had for the Yolngu people.[2] It speaks in particular of the Ramingining community but reflects on more universal ramifications for remote communities in Australia.[3] Another Country is aimed at a non-Indigenous audience and intends to help the audience understand Aboriginal culture and listen to what Aboriginal people have to say.[4] [5]
David Gulpilil, the Yolngu actor who narrates Another Country, described the documentary as "the best thing anyone can learn about us!".[6]
Another Country premiered at the Melbourne International Film Festival in 2015.[7] It was selected to screen at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016.
Another County was nominated for two awards at the 6th AACTA Awards: Best Cinematography in a Documentary award and Best Sound in a Documentary.[8] The documentary won the Grand Prix at the 2016 FIFO Pacific International Film Festival.[9] [10] At the 2016 ATOM Awards it won Best Documentary – General, as well as Best Documentary – History and Best Documentary – Social & Political Issues.[11]
