Wutharr, Saltwater Dreams
Three wildly varying accounts are offered by members of an Indigenous Australian family for the cause of their boat’s breakdown, leaving them stranded in the outback. Settler bureaucracy, modern Christian faith and displeased ancestral spirits are invoked in a series of flashbacks, all shot on iPhone.
