Nunga Screen
Nunga Screen is held annually between Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week and is a FREE short film showcase for all ages that shares and celebrates First Nations culture, stories and language through film.
About
Nunga Screen features an entertaining program of independent films, from emerging to the more established filmmakers. Inspiring docos, compelling dramas, quirky animation, contemporary to traditional storytelling – this film event is dedicated to bringing communities together to share in culture.
The curated program of short films is rolled out across South Australia to more than 20 regional venues and communities from cinemas to country halls to outdoor theatres. A schools program is catered for with appropriate age and curricula day-time screenings.
Films are selected by a call-out for Expressions of Interest. If you have a passion for film and are First Nations filmmaker, or have produced a film themed around reconciliation, then we would love to hear from you.
Reconciliation is a journey for all Australians. Country Arts SA is proud to be a part of this journey.

Filmmaker and Ngarrindjeri man, Josh Trevorrow, is back as Country Arts SA’s Nunga Screen Programmer in 2022. Josh is an established creator, producer and facilitator within the screen industry and is passionate about growing opportunities for First Nations filmmakers to showcase their talent and reach new audiences.
Josh co-founded bespoke production company Untold Productions with Katharine McPhee and has worked alongside seasoned collaborators to share culture, stories and language with community through screen.
Josh’s personal mandate is to champion First Nations filmmakers in mainstream and commercial film production and to further a platform for uniquely First Nations stories.
“It is an incredible honour to be leading the programme again this year, after what was a fantastic 2021 showcase,” Josh says.
“Film, visual media and other forms of digital content are such powerful mediums for storytelling and the accessibility means so much more freedom for filmmakers.”
“I want to create a strong, sustainable programme and work towards a future of respect and reconciliation.”
In 2021 Josh was awarded the highly competitive Documentary Australia Foundation’s (DAF) Centralised Indigenous Fellowship, established to support the professional development of First Nations documentary filmmakers who are resident in the Northern Territory or South Australia.
