In celebration of NAIDOC Week 2026: 50 Years of Deadly, join us for a special screening of WINHANGANHA, a visual poem from award-winning Wiradjuri artist and poet Jazz Money. Check out the trailer below! 🎬

A feature length cinematic journey made entirely of archival footage, WINHANGANHA (Wiradjuri language: Remember, know, think) celebrates First Nations love, joy and resistance. Commissioned by the NFSA - National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, the film interrogates the archive held within the body of individuals and communities against the body of archives held in the national collection.

It includes original poetry written and performed by Jazz and an original score by Filipino-Aboriginal rapper and composer DOBBY (Rhyan Clapham).

This special screening will include an in-conversation with filmmaker Jazz Money and Dr Kat Nelligan, proud Gamilaraay woman and Lecturer in Music Industry at RMIT.
