My Name is Gulpilil

David Gulpilil was one of the most charismatic performers in Australian film history, but this is far from a standard career retrospective. Instead it is an unhurried, intimate portrait of a man who described himself as living in two worlds, created in collaboration with its subject as he approached the end of his extraordinary life.

Note: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are warned this film contains images and voices of people who have died.
