The Darwin International Film Festival returns to the Deckchair Cinema in September with 11 nights of premieres under the tropical stars, 14-24 September.

The full program will launch on August 15 with the Northern Territory premiere of Sinem Saban’s documentary Luku Ngärra: The Law of the Land which focuses on Yolngu clan leader, traditional lawman, spiritual leader and civil rights activist Rev.

Presented by the Darwin International Film Festival and Our Generation Media, in association with Darwin Festival, the event screening will feature special guests and a Q&A with Rev. Dr Djiniyini Gondarra and Saban.
