The Screen Guide

Dionysus meets the Dreamtime. A unique Australian approach to addressing the problems of Indigenous alcohol abuse through the power of story. When Andrew Spencer Japaljarri, a Warlpiri/Pintubi elder from the Central Desert tells Craig San Roque, President of the Australian Jungian Association, that the way Australian Aborigines would traditionally control such destructive influences such as alcohol is through law derived from their Dreamtime stories. It culminates in the telling of the story of Dionysus, presented in the form of a spectacular traditional corroboree at night, in the Central Desert, 100 km west of Alice Springs.
