Presented as part of NAIDOC Week at the NFSA, followed by a post-screening Q&A with filmmaker and NFSA Head of First Nations Engagement Pauline Clague. Presented by NITV.
Exploring performance, politics and cultural identity, The Colleano Heart traces Aboriginal boxer and showman Peter Colleano and his remarkable extended family of circus performers.
Through archival material and contemporary reflection, the film examines how public figures shape narratives far beyond their own lifetimes.
'A remarkable documentary […] about resilience and adaption, and a family that became a runaway global success.' - Gina Fairley, ArtsHub
