The Intervention Trilogy

The Intervention Trilogy consists of three short films of the Karrabing Film Collective. Conceived, performed, and by the third film, shot by the Collective, each film draws on actual events as it plays with the line between fiction and nonfiction in order to convey the everyday truths of contemporary Indigenous life. Karrabing Film Collective films have shown nationally and internationally, and have received the Cinema Nova Best Fiction Short Film at the 2015 Melbourne International Film Festival and the 2015 Visible Award.

Screened with permission of the Karrabing Film Collective. Q&A with the members of Karrabing Film Collective and ALTAR's Jennifer Deger after the screening.
