Star Dreaming

[vc_section][vc_row gap=”default” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Synopsis

Deep in the Australian Outback, two children, Max Winton and Lucia Richardson, go on a magical odyssey through time and space, exploring the mysteries of the Universe via the world’s largest radio telescope and its oldest living culture. In the arid heartland of the Murchison region of Western Australia, Max and Lucia, visit the remote site of the Square Kilometre Array or SKA radio telescope. There, they learn about the beginnings of time and space and the life cycle of stars. Then through a special door, Max and Lucia enter the ancient land of the Yamaji people where they meet with artist, Charmaine Green. She becomes their guide as they travel through the land of her ancestors and introduces them to other artists and their paintings. The artists share with the children star stories that have been passed on from generation to generation. Max and Lucia discover how much the scientific world and the ancient world have in common, for we all live under one sky, a shared sky.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”14653″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section section_color=”section_white” section_padding=”padding_small”][vc_row gap=”default” equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1/12″][vc_single_image image=”12832″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”11/12″][vc_column_text]

“Filming in Western Australia was a unique experience for me…

“I’d never seen landscape like that in my life. There were moments when I’d just look around and feel so grateful.”

“What really made this film possible was the local support we received.

“The Mount Magnet community were so welcoming, helpful and accomodating of our weird, wonderful and sometimes last minute requests.

“Perhaps more importantly, we felt the community were aligned with our desire to show off the region and share a part of our history for Australian and international audiences to enjoy.”
