Feature film ‘Stories in our Songs – Indigenous Musicians of the Northern Territory’ is a new media screen work which highlights the musical landscape of Indigenous musicians across the Territory from the Central Desert region to the Top End. The work traverses both time and space, using digital imagery, text, animations, video footage and audio illustrating the importance of music as an expression of culture and ideas.
