Your stories in moving pictures

An cinematic art-documentary, based on your stories, threaded together by an original orchestral score composed around a leitmotif of Marie Cowan’s Waltzing Matilda.

Contemporary and rigorously authentic, the imagery reflects actual moments people record here on Being Australian.

With senstitivity and respect the film delivers an intimate, revelatory first-person look through the eyes of thousands at the wonder, rigour, humour and poignancy of life around Australia and around the world in myriad 'Australian' contexts.

More than just 'documentary', the film is an Australian-made diary about 'Australian' experiences - snatches of life threaded together by an evocative score specially composed for this project.

The film is about you and your impressions - the extraordinary behind the ordinary of the Australan 'everyday'  Your participation is crucial - it's why we say, "Everyone matters!"

That's because your stories, your imagery, are the fundamental underpinning of the creative outcome - a music-driven cinematic diary of our time - a documentary without narration (but perhaps a touch of testimonial) to entertain and inform today and tomorrow.
