Many, many canoes
Vertigo Productions (Rolf de Heer) is working in consultation with Bula’bula Arts and the Ramingining community to produce many many "canoes" interrelated projects. The film Ten Canoes, essentially about goose-egg hunters, commenced production in May and concluded filming in June 2005.
Eleven Canoes involves the school where students will produce a series of mini-documentaries about processes of making art. Twelve Canoes is an interactive multi-media site that will focus on art from the Arafura Swamp; objects and paintings will come to life and fuse with the environment to bring further understanding to the outside world about many aspects of yolngu culture.
Thirteen Canoes, (the exhibition), to be held at the South Australian Museum, is planned to open concurrently at the 2006 Adelaide Festival where Ten Canoes will have its world premiere. 13 Canoes is an Adelaide Fringe Festival event.
Bula’bula Arts is heavily involved with all the Canoes projects: Richard Birrinbirrin is principal consultant for Twelve Canoes, while Gladys Womati and Bobby Bununggurr are artistic and music consultants respectively. Many artists will have their acting debut in the film, which will introduce Jamie Gulpilil, son of David Gulpilil.
