WARWICK THORNTON
Warwick Thornton is a Kaytej man from central Australia, whose customary lands reside to the north of Alice Springs where he has lived the majority of his life. A film-maker of singularly distinctive vision, his first feature Samson and Delilah (2009) took the national and international film world by storm, winning numerous awards including the Caméra d’Or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival and continues to challenge, confront and seduce audiences. Stranded, Thornton’s foray into creating a artwork for a gallery space, was commissioned by the 2011 Bigpond Adelaide Film Festival through its investment fund.
