The NFSA has completed a full digital restoration of Rachel Perkins’ acclaimed directorial debut, Radiance (1998).
Radiance (1998) was the first full-length feature directed by Arrernte woman Rachel Perkins. It was only the third feature film to be directed by an Australian Indigenous person and the second to have a commercial release. Based on a 1993 stage play by playwright Louis Nowra, who also wrote the screenplay, it was made on a shoestring budget and featured cinematography by a young Warwick Thornton.
The film was highly acclaimed on the domestic and international film festival circuit and won a slew of local awards for the cast and crew. Radiance was made at a time when Indigenous talent was being identified and supported by government funding agencies and broadcasters alike, including the now internationally recognised Screen Australia Indigenous Unit, which began in 1993.
