Celebrating Indigenous Stories Under the Milky Way
Discover Barangaroo’s free outdoor cinema in the stunning Barangaroo Reserve.
This spring, you’re invited to sit beneath the stars at Stargazer Cinema, and be transported by the power of First Nations storytelling.
For eight weeks, Stargazer Cinema brings the stories of emerging First Nations filmmakers from Australia and around the world to Barangaroo Reserve.
The outdoor cinema at Barangaroo Reserve is a place for storytelling. In the local Dhurung language, Yellamundie Ngurang means “Storyteller Place.”
From moving dramas to bold contemporary stories, each film reflects the richness, resilience, and creativity of First Nations culture. With the stars overhead and Sydney Harbour as the backdrop, it’s a cinematic experience like no other.
