Tarnanthi - Adelaide Film Festival 2023 Don Dunstan Award conversation

Step into a captivating dialogue as Adelaide Film Festival’s patron Margaret Pomeranz sits down with Sally Riley, the recipient of the 2023 Don Dunstan Award, presented by the Adelaide Film Festival Board. This exclusive opportunity offers a first-hand glimpse of the remarkable journey of one of Australia’s foremost advocates of and allies for First Nations voices in film and television.

Sally Riley’s legacy goes beyond the content she has commissioned on the screen. It goes to the capacity building of First Nations creatives in the film and television industry and in seeing First Nations stories becoming central in the national narrative. This legacy also tracks the move from First Nations people being peripheral to Australian storytelling to their rightful return, as this land’s first storytellers, to commanding the stories told about us.

The Adelaide Film Festival Board proudly presents the Don Dunstan Award at each festival, recognising an exceptional individual who has made a distinguishable impact on Australia’s screen culture. Previous recipients include Andrew Bovell, Bruna Papandrea, Judy Davis, Freda Glynn, David Dalaithngu Gulpilil, Rolf de Heer, Scott Hicks, David Jowsey, Dennis O’Rourke and the combined contributions of David Stratton and Margaret Pomeranz.
