Indigenous stories and animated tales featured
prominently on the international festival landscape
in 2005, with Green Bush, The Djarns Djarns, Jasper
Morello and Clara receiving top honours in some of
the world’s most competitive short film sections.
Short documentaries also made their mark at top
tier festivals. The six minute doco Butterfly Man won
the Silver Cub award at IDFA and Yellow Fella was
the first Indigenous Australian documentary ever to
screen at the Cannes Film Festival.
The outstanding success of Australian shorts over
the last twelve months is a testament to the
unique vision of Australian filmmakers.
The films featured in the 2006 catalogue similarly
invite world audiences to be intrigued, entertained
and illuminated by stories from Australia’s
shores, and once again demonstrate the status of
Australian filmmakers as world-class creators of
short film.

2 AUSTRALIAN SHORT FILMS 2005/06
ONE SHORT TALE
Wayne Blair’s short film The Djarn Djarns
was developed through the Australian Film
Commission’s Indigenous Branch initiative,
‘Dramatically Black’, a collection of half-hour
dramas written and directed by Indigenous
filmmakers.
It has graced many international film festival
screens and won the Kinderfilmfest Crystal Bear
prize at the 2005 Berlin Film Festival.
Wayne then went on to receive the Outstanding
Achievement in Film and Television at the
Australian Deadly Awards this year, an annual
awards event that recognises Indigenous and
Torres Strait Islander excellence in music, sport,
entertainment and community achievement.
Wayne spoke to the AFC’s Sarah Runcie about
the making of The Djarn Djarns, the story of a
young Aboriginal boy who, in the course of one
day, negotiates grief and friendship, loyalty and
betrayal.
BACKGROUND
When I was about 17 I worked at Dreamtime,
in Rockhampton Queensland as a tour guide.
Then for three or four years I was a ‘djarn
djarn’ [a term from an Aboriginal language
up that way]. I was much older than the boys
in the film, but worked with young boys as
well. There were five or six of us that had to
dance for tourists and it was lots of fun. The
interaction, the different personalities within the
group, the dialogue that we had everyday was
funny. It was a good time in my life because
I was playing rugby league and cricket in
Rockhampton and then at night or on weekends
or during the day, I’d do traditional dance.
INSPIRATION
When I wrote the script, I was thinking of
places up in Rockhampton, in reference to land,
colour, and the heat of the place. The weather
is different, the way the sunlight comes up over
the mountains is a little bit different. And we
wanted to shoot in Rockhampton because that’s
where I am from.
The juxtaposition of dancing and playing sport
was something I had enjoyed in my own
life and although these worlds were totally
different, in some respects, they were totally
the same in terms of teamwork, and people
having to work together to produce something.
There are just so many different stories out
there when you go into people’s lives. But I had
never seen a story where you go into a 10-yearold urban, yet traditional, dancer’s life. I wanted
to show that.
THE STORY
The film talks about friendship, the love
between a father and son, a mother and son
– family. I wanted to relay that when you are
doing well you’ll get back slaps and people
will be there to congratulate you, no matter
what, but when times are tough, that’s when
friendship really matters.
With the sexual abuse storyline, I didn’t want to
be too overt. I didn’t want to be bogged down
by it. I think sexual abuse is evil at work and in
all communities – black, white, brindle. I just
don’t think it’s something that has been talked
about enough. People have suffered because
of it. This is a young 10-year-old who has a
responsibility to his culture, a responsibility to
friendship, responsibility to his family, and this
boy’s innocence has been taken for someone
else’s selfish reason. Yet this boy, because of
the love for his father and what his father has
taught him, is fighting on. Through the strength
of friendship he’s staying alive.
THE DJARN DJARN’S CAST
Finding the right four boys was one of the
biggest challenges. Three weeks before we had
to shoot, we were still umm-ing and ahh-ing.
I looked at The Beatles and tried to find
my John, my Paul, my Ringo, my George. I
remember the first day they came together for
rehearsals, meeting everybody, they were all
quiet. I was going ‘Oh no, what am I going to
do?’ So we cut up a tape of all their audition
pieces. The boys were all really quiet and
nervous. They all sat together in the front row
and watched their audition pieces. And even my
audition pieces. They just laughed at themselves
and laughed at each other. And that was good.
After that they went to the pool at the motel
and after an hour they were all laughing and
tackling each other into the pool. From that
moment I just went ‘wow’ and a big smile came
over my face. I suppose I became a 10-year-old
boy for 10 weeks as well.
THE FINISHED FILM
I am very proud that we got a 26-minute film,
and that when I wrote the script and saw the
film – and I have seen the film numerous times
– I loved it. What we tried to achieve in the
script I believe we got onto the screen and a
little bit more. I am so thankful we achieved
this story in the amount of time and within the
limitations we had. It’s a story that all those
young boys have seen now and they love it.
Their families love it. The community up in
Rockhampton love it and they’re proud of it. It’s
great just bringing smiles to people’s faces, and
having a sense of achievement, not only for me
but for everyone on the crew.

to make a documentary
about ‘urban eccentrics’, the
fascinating characters he
imagines the city to be full
of. But his would-be subjects
are less than cooperative.
People living in ordinary
urban banality, are, it turns
out, rather ordinary and

changing when he meets a
chatty caretaker with a vivid
imagination, but something is
not quite right...has he bitten
off more than he can chew?

pregnant, loaded with
Christmas shopping, struggles
to make it to the tram stop.
She feels out of kilter with
the world - this is the season
to be jolly and she’s never

shoppers, partygoers and
tram attendants all seem
like the enemy. Stuck at the
lonely tram stop with a rather
odd stranger, will Helen ever
make it home? Set in a surreal
environment where reality and
inner-anxiety blur, THE FAVOUR
is a dark tale of Christmas
misery, but with a magical
twist which proves that one

The brief: sell my space-age
umbrellas. The brainstorming:
bitching and panicking. The
pitch: journey with me into
the heart of a raindrop. The
commercial: a pastel-coloured
tribute to European cinema.
The Awards: it scoops the
pool. The truth: the product
sucks. The moral: it’s only
advertising.

Guy is in limbo. A road, two
mangled cars and a landscape
as barren as his memory.
Can you cry when you can’t
remember? Can you love just
in case? And can you lose
what you’ve never had?
For Georgie and Tony the
events of the past 48 hours
still don’t seem real. A foreign
power invading Australia
was never something any
Australian seriously thought
about. Now the invasion is
very real and this reality is on
their Darwin doorstep.

Inspired by true events,
MOURNING tells of when
‘drinking to forget’ unleashes
a chain of events that will
always be remembered by
those unfortunate enough
to be involved. An appeal to
those who enjoy a big night

mindful of how much alcohol
may remain in their bodies
and the damage it may do.

The last thing a pickpocket
expects to find himself stealing
is a murder weapon. But
when a routine theft takes
an unexpected twist, that’s
exactly what happens to
Dillon. And when he suddenly
finds himself up close and
personal with the victim,
things get a whole lot more
complicated.
A surreal comedy about
love, traffic and survival. Two
drivers - ambitious Christine
and struggling Leo - find
themselves stuck in a side
alley as they attempt to
turn on to an impenetrable
motorway. As the minutes turn
to hours, and the hours turn to
days, Christine and Leo realise
they are completely trapped
together, and must find a way
to survive.

There is a period in many
adolescents’ lives when they
feel displaced, desensitised
and alone. THE TREES is
an experimental film that
juxtaposes Sam, Lucy and Boyd
in their ‘Shakespeariensque’
school play and at a night
out drinking in a dingy cabin.
Together, these two scenes
amalgamate and inform an
audience who perhaps aren’t
ready to hear what these kids
have to say.
