Institute History
Description
In Green Bush, Kaytetye director Warwick Thornton pays homage to the rural Indigenous disc jockeys whose responsibilities often extend beyond the airwaves. Kenny is a local DJ whose presence on the air night after night is a safe haven for many of his listeners, especially when he plays the historic performance by activist Gary Foley during the 1982 Clash concert. At the radio station, the second-run equipment and 8-track tapes aren't as important as the hot tea and soup Kenny brings along each night. He soon realizes that his job is about more than just playing music.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
