1 5 form y separately published work icon Incarceration Nation Dean Gibson (director), Lindi Harrison (editor), Karina Hogan (researcher), 2021 22954881 2021 single work film/TV

'Australia was founded by the English with one clear purpose - to create a prison island. Over 200 years later, not much has changed; rather than housing criminals from England, we are filling our jails with our mist vulnerable and disadvantaged population.

It's time for change.

For those in mainstream Australia, this crisis has felt like an overnight catastrophe linked to alcohol and unemployment. But the reality behind Aboriginal incarceration tells a different story, a story that dates back well beyond the advent of modern prisons, government programs and support services.

Incarceration Nation will tell that story – the tragic story of the systematic injustice and oppression of Aboriginal people since European settlement. This film will take its audience on a journey back into our dark past and shine a spotlight on incarceration from an Aboriginal perspective. Many things have changed, but many stay the same.'

1 1 form My Family Matters Dean Gibson , Helen Morrison , 2020 single work film/TV

My Family Matters is a celebration of modern Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, and the everyday role models that exist within them. This heart-warming story captures everyday life, shining a light on ordinary families doing extraordinary things.

For the Hartas family of 13 in Ipswich, balancing contemporary life with culture includes dealing with disability, preparing for the arrival of a new grandchild and reconnecting with long lost family.

They are a family that face lots of challenges, but are firmly held together by love.
