The Dreamtime continues as the "Dreaming" in the spiritual lives of aboriginal people today. The events of the ancient era of creation are enacted in ceremonies and danced in mime form. Song chant incessantly to the accompaniment of the didgeridoo or clap sticks relates the story of events of those early times and brings to the power of the dreaming to bear of life today." |

People have never been given a chance to have a say in how they live here, and until that happens, none of these problems can be solved." | |

THE
MULTICULTURAL FILM FEDERATION
(dedicated to interracial teamwork and preserving cultures) Communication and working together are the keys to solving the problems that face us in the future. But...tomorrow will not take care of itself and our children will not inherit a better planet, unless we start making a difference now. Why form the Multicultural Film Federation, (TMFF)? We want to spread the truth about cultural injustices and human rights offenses. We also want to set the example that a unified interracial team can produce quality film and combat the evil in this world. We know we can make a difference by example and by encouraging films that go beyond the history books. We got the idea for this organization after filming the trailer for "SILENT SCREAM," an Aboriginal action film about 'Stolen Children' and beatings and deaths of Aboriginals in custody. We found, after 8 months, that our very different heritage's made a great team. The opportunity to help create films that will make this a better world presented itself...and we are up to the challenge. |
