“Star Dreaming” Makes Immersive Premiere At Cinefest Oz
Imagine a magical odyssey through time and space, where two children explore the mysteries of the Universe from the world’s oldest living culture and its largest radio telescope…
Welcome to the world of “Star Dreaming”; a WA-made feature documentary that takes viewers on a breathtaking journey through science and Aboriginal culture; fusing live action with cutting-edge Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) technology and astrophysics, along with featuring animated Indigenous artworks and graphic recreations of the constellations.
Directed by WA Indigenous Filmmaker Perun Bonser in collaboration with Yamaji Art in Geraldton, the movie made its debut world premiere at the Cinefest OZ the previous month; hosting five sessions throughout the Festival inside the immersive ‘Prospero Dome Theatre’, that held the capability to screen 180-degree features.
On The Record presenter Fiona Bartholomaeus is joined in the studio by Perun Bonser. Together they discuss the origins of the story, including the people involved behind producing the documentary, what the general reception from the public was like during Cinefest Oz, and what the overall purpose of the film revolved around.
