Using material from 1976 this 9min edit re-imagines a never completed 16mm film project shot with members of the West Kimberley community of Mowanjum. Conceived around the precocious talent of then 11yo dancer Marshall Morlumbun the unedited footage remained unseen until 2020.

This video now stands as a document of the deep cultural significance of dance at Mowanjum. Marshall's importance as a ‘man of dance’ within the community was a constant right up until his passing in 2023.

This short film shows Matthew Dembal Martin and Chloe Nulgit, senior Ngarinyin men and women doing a Wurdu ceremony. They gently touch and speak to the child and instruct him to follow the main laws to be a strong, respectful and a responsible member of Ngarinyin culture. Matthew adds that when he grows up he will run like an emu. They finish by tapping gently and rythmically on his forehead, instructing him to always remember Wurdu.
