Tukana–Husat i asua (who’s to blame) follows the story of a university dropout who returns to his village in Buka Passage, Bougainville. He drifts into rootlessness among bad companions, becoming progressively alienated from his parents and village life, with tragic consequences. 

Considered Papua New Guinea’s most significant feature film, Tukana is the result of a unique collaboration between Australian director Chris Owen, who was instrumental in the establishment of the National Film Institute (NFI) in Goroka, Papua New Guinea, and Albert Toro, a celebrated writer, director, actor and MP, known as the father of PNG film. 

Tukana has been digitally restored by the NFSA in partnership with Spectrum Films and gifted to the NFI to commemorate 50 years of Papua New Guinea’s independence. The restoration builds on a four-year co-design project with the NFI, assisting them to better preserve and access their films, with support from the Australian Government’s International Cultural Diplomacy and Arts Fund (ICDAF).  

This special event will begin with a pre-screening introduction by NFSA CEO Patrick McIntyre to celebrate the restoration of this feature film and the ongoing partnership that made it possible.

This film is classified PG. Parental Guidance is recommended.
