Man Wearing a Helmet
Haunting fragments of colonial violence testify to First Nations trauma and survival in this unflinching short.
As Aboriginal boys are stolen from their families and brought to a rural mission, astonishingly visceral and discomforting truths about our collective past emerge. Sublimely shot on richly textured black-and-white 16mm film with an atmospheric soundscape, this short’s expressionistic, powerfully direct storytelling will linger in memory far beyond its brief running time.
