THE INDIGENOUS LITERACY FOUNDATION (ILF) IS PROUD TO PRESENT A 15‑MINUTE FILM
CELEBRATING INDIGENOUS LITERACY DAY WITH STORIES AND SONGS FROM REMOTE
COMMUNITIES, HOSTED BY THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE.  



Following the film, viewers are invited to stay online for a 45‑minute
livestream celebration directly from the Sydney Opera House, with a star‑studded
team of ILF Ambassadors ‑ Jessica Mauboy, Justine Clarke, Gregg Dreise, Josh
Pyke and more!

THE FILM

“Would you cuddle up with a jurru? Do you have a tjikiwan dog at home? And what
would you do if you saw a sneaky Kyembal?" asks ILF ambassador Jessica Mauboy. 

Jump on a virtual plane to Barunga in the Northern Territory, Rubibi (Broome) in
north Western Australia and Weipa on the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, to
find out!

This is your chance to journey across the country into First Nations
storytelling and learn some new words in Kriol, Yawuru and Thaynakwith
languages.

You'll join a group of young, talented songwriters with their ILF mentor Justine
Clarke, for a special performance of their song, Shordi Krik, at the Barunga
Festival in the Northern Territory. Find out why life is sweet at Shordi Krik.

In Rubibi, your senses will tingle as you discover there are more than four
seasons a year, and on the Cape York Peninsula, when you look, you will
find…..what? You will have to wait and see!



THE LIVESTREAM

After the film, enter the Sydney Opera House for a 45‑minute livestream
celebration of storytelling and song with ILF super star Ambassadors, Jessica
Mauboy, Justine Clarke, Josh Pyke, Gregg Dreise, and more!

This is an action packed, joyful performance, sharing books, stories, music,
song, movement, illustrations and language. It's an engaging learning adventure
for early learners, primary students and adults alike. Don't miss it! 








HOW TO WATCH 

At 10.30am (AEST) the 15‑minute FREE FILM premieres (meaning, it is available
online for the first time), followed by a 45‑minute FREE LIVESTREAM from the
Sydney Opera House.

either continue to watch live from where the stream is at or pull back the
timeline to the start at the beginning.
