WHO GIVES A RAT'S? 

Kim McKenzie 

Head, Consortium for Information Outreach (CRIO), Research School of
Humanities 

 

The choice of title for this work-in-progress seminar will become
clearer. For the past several years Kim has been working in a remote
area of the western Arnhem Land Plateau, in part documenting with video
a land-management program. This involves Aboriginal owners and
non-Aboriginal people from a range of disciplines, anthropologists,
ecologists etc. Three films have been produced from this project to date
and a fourth is in its early phase of editing. The next film will have
to do with the recent and dramatic decline of small native animals and,
in this seminar and using sample footage, Kim will explore some thoughts
on various ways this film might be shaped. 

 

Kim McKenzie is an ethnographic filmmaker and multimedia producer based
at the Consortium for Information Outreach (CRIO), which was initially a

In 1994 he produced the multimedia version of the Encyclopaedia of
Aboriginal Australia for the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander Studies. He recently produced the CDROM and book
