Star Stories of The Dreaming

Star Stories of The Dreaming - 90m from Eleanor Gilbert on Vimeo.

When ancient knowledge held by the oldest culture on earth meets modern astrophysics and new concept is born – cultural astronomy.

'Star Stories of The Dreaming' reveals the oldest knowledge on the planet. Increasingly Aboriginal people in Australia are being recognised as the first astronomers and we are transported into this ethereal world of humanity's heritage.
“When I listen to my grandmother ... she was taught by her grandmother who was an old woman when the whiteman first come into our Country and she taught my grandmother. In our way of teaching we skip a generation. That's how we compress knowledge and that's how we keep that knowledge pretty much intact." Ghillar, Michael Anderson


In the meeting of minds between Ghillar and Professor Ray Norris, Australia's leading astrophysicist responsible for EMU – Evolutionary Mapping of the Universe, extraordinary parallels emerge in the two cultures - such as 'wormholes' and the pathway to Bullima, the Euahlayi Sky Camp, via the hollow Coolabah tree, which lives on the riverbank in the Milky Way.
