We’re excited to announce that Sukundimi Walks Before Me will have its Australian premiere at @sydfilmfest in June, competing in the Documentary Australia competition and the Sustainable Future award. We’re even more thrilled that Producer and Project Sepik Director Emmanuel (Manu) Peni, and his Project Sepik colleague Shayanne Waide, will be joining us for the premiere. Produced in collaboration with Project Sepik, Sukundimi Walks Before Me centres the mighty Sepik River, a 1,126km river in the Sepik region of Papua New Guinea and the lifeblood of Sepik communities. The film documents the Sepik people’s resistance to a proposed gold-copper mine that risks polluting and eroding the crucial waterway. At its heart, it is a story of guardianship, ancestral responsibility, and collective refusal in the face of proposed vast extraction. A huge thanks to the incredible people, crew and partners who made this film possible, including Jubilee Australia, Environmental Defenders Office and the Save the Sepik campaign. And most of all we express our heartfelt gratitude to the Sepik people, for their collaboration, trust and generously sharing their story. Screening dates as follows and link in bio: - Thursday 11th June, 6pm, Event Cinema George Street - Saturday 13th June, 2pm, Dendy Newtown Sukundimi Walks Before Me is produced by Brown Sugar Apple Grunt and Walking Fish Productions , and presented by Screen Australia in association with Pacific Islanders in Communication, Doc Society Climate Story Fund, The Post Lounge and VicScreen, with support from Random Good, Shark Island Foundation, New Zealand Film Commission, Three Springs Foundation and RNZ.

We are proud to announce the World Premiere of Sukundimi Walks Before Me, a documentary six years in the making, premiering at International Oceanian Documentary Film Festival FIFO Tahiti @fifo.officiel tomorrow, 12 February. Produced in collaboration with Project Sepik, Sukundimi Walks Before Me centres the mighty Sepik River — the lifeblood of its people — and documents Sepik communities’ resistance to a proposed gold-copper mine in the Sepik region.. At its heart, the film is a story of guardianship, ancestral responsibility, and collective refusal in the face of proposed vast extraction. The Sepik is one of the world’s great cultural and ecological arteries — long revered for its art, culture, and biodiversity. While its art and stories have travelled the world, Sepik people have too often been spoken about rather than centred as authors of their own narratives. This film works against that history. It is grounded in community trust, cultural authority, friendship and a commitment to storytelling that is relational. The film is a Brown Sugar Apple Grunt and Walking Fish production and the filmmakers acknowledge with gratitude the support that made this work possible, including from Screen Australia, Pacific Islanders in Communications, Doc Society, The Post Lounge, VicScreen, Random Good, Shark Island Foundation, New Zealand Film Commission, Three Springs Foundation and RNZ. We also acknowledge the many organisations supporting the Save the Sepik campaign, including Project Sepik, CELCOR, Jubilee Australia, Environmental Defenders Office and Nia Tero. Above all, we thank the Sepik people - for their trust, their leadership, and generous sharing of their story. This film stands with them. #SaveTheSepik Written and Directed by: Matasila Freshwater Directed by: Lachlan McLeod Written and Edited by: Nick Fenton Produced by: David Elliot-Jones, Maria Tanner & Kerry Warkia Producers: Emmanuel Peni & Lachlan McLeod Directors of Photography: Fraser Johnston & Benjamin Bryan Executive Producers: Kiel McNaughton & Chris Kamen
