Namatjira promo film
This 2 minute film was shot in Alice Springs during our Creative Development in March 2010, and edited by Adrian Warburton.
The music you hear is the Ntaria (Hermannsburg) Ladies Choir, and music from Big hART’s Ngapartji Ngapartji .
Thanks to the Namatjira family and descendants, Ngurratjuta Many Hands Art Centre and the Strehlow Research Centre for working with us to make the film.

This project brings Namatjira into the modern era …with its realism, abstraction .. and its sheer joy in colour!
Albert, descendents of Albert & connected souls: Be proud!

I have the greatest respect for Albert and all that he stood for. He was a true pioneer for all Australians and it was the most shocking and terrible thing that he was ripped off by authorities throughout his lifetime. His story needs to be told.
Thanks,
Allan

it is a wonderful mini film. I’m so pleased to see that someone is commemorating and celebrating the life of Albert. I would love to obtain a copy of the promotional film and products if possible. I would be more than willing to pay for this and any other ephemera available. Books, postcards, brochures, posters, films. I am an avid fan and am a collector of Hermannsburg-abilia. Because I have no other way of contacting anyone in charge, I would be delighted to hear from you on my above email address (hsandgkAaapt.net.au). I visited Alice Springs in 2008 to pay homage to Albert and bought quite a few paintings from the Ngurratjuta Ntjarra gallery.
Is there a full length film? Have you ever heard of the 1975 film “Son’s of Namatjira”. I have been looking to obtain a copy of this film (unsuccessfully0 for many many years.
Good luck for a wonderful celebration of the great Albert Namatjira’s life and legacy this weekend.
kind regards, and I hope I hear from someone there soon.
