The Screen Guide

The art of Aboriginal Australia is celebrated in DREAMINGS as we journey into the sacred heartland of Australia to see traditional artists at work. The artists talk about their work, its association with the land and its spiritual connection with their people, animals and plants. The film explores the meanings behind the works, from acrylic dot paintings of the Central Desert to cross-hatched bark paintings and burial poles of northern Australia, as it allows the viewer access to the oldest continuous art tradition in the world.
