Synopsis

In Kin: An extraordinary Australian filmmaking family, artists and filmmakers from all over the world pay tribute to the indomitable Freda Glynn and her family. Freda championed Aboriginal screen storytelling with global impact, helping establish CAAMA and Imparja Television in the 1980s. Her daughter Erica Glynn and son Warwick Thornton are internationally renowned filmmakers, and her grandchildren Dylan River and Tanith Glynn-Maloney bring a fresh vision to the third generation.

‘What I love is that when they stand together as a family we get to see what they have given to our Australian screen industry, their extraordinary impact and legacy.’ – Deborah Mailman
