We’re excited to announce that Sukundimi Walks Before Me will have its Australian premiere at in June, competing in the Documentary Australia competition and the Sustainable Future award.

We’re even more thrilled that Producer and Project Sepik Director Emmanuel (Manu) Peni, and his Project Sepik colleague Shayanne Waide, will be joining us for the premiere.

Produced in collaboration with Project Sepik, Sukundimi Walks Before Me centres the mighty Sepik River, a 1,126km river in the Sepik region of Papua New Guinea and the lifeblood of Sepik communities. The film documents the Sepik people’s resistance to a proposed gold-copper mine that risks polluting and eroding the crucial waterway. At its heart, it is a story of guardianship, ancestral responsibility, and collective refusal in the face of proposed vast extraction.

A huge thanks to the incredible people, crew and partners who made this film possible, including Jubilee Australia, Environmental Defenders Office and the Save the Sepik campaign.

And most of all we express our heartfelt gratitude to the Sepik people, for their collaboration, trust and generously sharing their story.

Screening dates as follows and link in bio:

- Thursday 11th June, 6pm, Event Cinema George Street
- Saturday 13th June, 2pm, Dendy Newtown
