Wollotuka Institute Research Fellow Dr Romaine Moreton has taken out the best short film award at the Chashama Film Festival in New York for her work The Farm.

The film pays homage to an Indigenous workforce essential to the agricultural wealth of New South Wales and Victoria dating back to the 1930s, and is told through the eyes of a young girl. The Farm deals with the spirituality of place and a country that is alive with people and stories.

The Chashama Film Festival provides a forum for global expression through filmmaking. It is a platform for a spectrum of political, cultural and philosophical ideologies presented in an environment designed to foster creative and intellectual expansion.
