'COMPENSATION from the Granites gold mine in the Tanami has detonated an explosion of creativity in Yuendumu.

'Pintupi Anmatjere Warlpiri (PAW) Media has used $110,000 from the community’s mining compensation income to produce more than 30 short videos documenting cultural and sporting events and local history for the past three years.'

'YAPA have brought their written management plan for the Northern Tanami Indigenous Protected Area to life as a bilingual digital storybook.

Tanami Yatijarra Walya Ngurra uses video, audio, maps and animation in Warlpiri and English to guide the elders and rangers who look after the IPA.'

'MEDIA trailblazer, leader and a man of culture – few Central Australians deserve a film tribute more than Francis Jupurrurla Kelly.

Josef Jakamarra Egger’s documentary about the filmmaker and former Central Land Council chair does more than celebrate Jupurrurla’s achievements, it fills a gap in our understanding of the history of remote Aboriginal media.

Jupurrurla – Man of Media

follows Mr Kelly’s life from his early bush childhood to his contribution to the success of Warlpiri Anmatyere Pintubi Media, better known as PAW Media.'

'DEATHS caused by domestic violence often become statistics, numbers that hide who the person was, where they come from or what they were like.

Not Just Numbers is a documentary by women from Alice Springs town camps about their campaign to make these deaths a thing of the past.'

'DAVID Ross AM richly deserves the twin honours bestowed on him.

The Central Land Council’s former director joined the board of the AFL Northern Territory only weeks before he gained membership to an even more exclusive club - the general division of the Order of Australia.

The award for Mr Ross’ service to his community was “warmly welcomed by the CLC’s constituents, members and staff, all the more so because he has never sought the limelight,” CLC chief executive Joe Martin-Jard said.'
