BABAKIUERIA

Year1986 Duration30 min. DirectorDon Featherstone WriterGeoffrey Atherden PhotographyJulian Penney EditorMichael Honey Production Julian Pringle

BabaKiueria is a country where whites are marginalised in society and work by the indigenous black population. Politically incorrect, this film suggests a change in roles to explore the stigma of racial discrimination in Australia as turned upside down. In a scathing satire, Don Featherstone denounces the events of the generations stolen from aboriginal tribes from 1910 to 1970 and portrays with caustic irony the inconvenient truth that pushed the first inhabitants of Australia to the verge of extinction.

Babakiueria screening is for free. The price of the session is 3 euros and corresponds to the screening of the film Tigrero.
