The Dreaming Festival; Australia’s International Indigenous Festival is emerging as one of Australia’s not to be missed cultural events of the year. Traditional and contemporary Indigenous culture is on display often in breathtaking and inspiring ways.

Whether you have a preference for theatre, dance, film, song, or art you will find it presented richly at this festival. Indigenous performers from across the world, including Australia of course are invited to The Dreaming Festival to share and present their art and culture and tell their stories to the growing audience of Australians wanting to soak up and explore new cultures.

The nights in June are chilly and the festival is lit with campfires to keep you warm, but it is the sheer spirit of this festival that leaves you with a feeling that you have just experienced something very special.

With its eclectic programming, irreverent marketing campaigns and renowned parties, the imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival long ago dispelled any notions that it’s a niche powwow.

One of the world’s largest, most prestigious celebrations of film and media work by indigenous peoples, the annual event doubled its audience from 8,000 in 2006 to 16,000 last year. The ninth edition, which opens Wednesday, reflects that growth with an increase in festival staff, sponsors and industry guests - not to mention a strong offering of more than 100 international and Canadian features and shorts, with many world premieres including Exile (Oct. 17, 5 p.m., Al Green), a documentary about the forcible relocation of Inuit families in 1953, from renowned filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk (2001 Cannes-winner The Fast Runner).
