Sukundimi Walks Before Me – Q&A Screening

Sukundimi Walks Before Me – Q&A Screening

Tuesday, September 22 @ 6:30pm

Followed by an in-person Q&A with the films subject Manu Peni 

A devastating copper gold mine is proposed to be built near the waters of one of the last remaining great rivers; the children of the Sepik embark on an indigenous led resistance to protect her waters. Sukundimi Walks Before Me explores this existential fight through lyrical expressions of existence, resistance and life along the mother river. 

Heniemba Avisak – The River of Stories

We invite audiences to enjoy an exclusive photographic exhibition in the cinema foyer before and after the screening.

This exhibition provides audiences with a deeper and more immersive engagement with the film before and after their screening. Through powerful photography, storytelling, maps, community voices, and visual documentation from Papua New Guinea's Sepik River region, the exhibition transforms the cinema experience into a broader cultural and educational encounter.

The exhibition has been developed through nearly a decade of collaboration with Sepik communities and advocacy organisations and serves as a visual extension of the film's themes of culture, community resilience, environmental stewardship, and Indigenous leadership.
