In South Australia, rural and regional communities have been overlooked in discussions and responses covering mental health and suicide prevention.

That is why LELAN has partnered with Country SA PHN as part of the Commonwealth government’s Targeted Regional Initiatives for Suicide Prevention (TRISP).

Under this initiative, an Advisory Group of people who have lived experience of suicide distress have collaborated to create a short film about what we have heard from our communities.

It aims to reduce stigma, increase help seeking, and improve community responsiveness and advocacy by sharing insights and solutions from people who have lived experience of distress or who have been impacted by suicide in rural and regional South Australian communities.

We will be holding an online launch for our short film, to share it with the community.

The format of the event will include:

Introduction

Film Screening

Panel Q&A

This online launch will be held 5:15pm – 6:15pm Thursday 27 June online via Zoom.

If you RSVP to this event, you will be sent the Zoom link to join us.

Join the South Australian Film Corporation and The Mercury for a special National Reconciliation Week event celebrating some of South Australia’s most talented up-and-coming First Nations filmmakers and screen practitioners.

From 10.30am to 11.30am join us in the Mercury foyer and laneway for networking over complimentary coffee and light refreshments. All are welcome to catch up with screen industry colleagues and create new industry connections.

Following the networking hour, enjoy a special in-conversation event hosted by SAFC Head of First Nations Kirstie Parker with Yankunytjatjara creative Lilla Berry, producer of upcoming feature film The Debt; Ngarrindjeri creative Josh Trevorrow, co-producer on forthcoming documentary Kumarangk; and Wongutha filmmaker Travis Akbar, writer/director/producer and head of Wirra Distribution, Australia’s only 100% Aboriginal-owned and managed film distribution company.

Through discussion and personal reflection, these exciting screen creatives will share their stories and explore their pathways into the industry, the challenges and opportunities shaping their careers, and their perspectives on reconciliation, representation and truth-telling in Australia today.

Presented by the SAFC and the Mercury.
