Oral history
Cultural research Treasuring / Treasuring the now for the future

As a qualified social scientist and film maker (with 25 years experience working in the Northern Territory of Australia and Aotearoa NZ) Delphine collaborates with local experts to collect the primary research material (oral history, genealogies, cultural mapping, GIS etc) to inform organisations or community’s research and governance needs.  Stories are worth treasuring. It is about recording the human fabric of what makes a place and its people, using video with dignity and building on the capacity within communities to grow, control and share knowledge. The living history can be then transformed it in a range of multimedia resources for communities or organisations. Past consultancies include Land claims and Native Title research, sacred sites protection, environmental and social impact studies, but also community engagement and mediation/dispute resolution.

Stories worth telling
Documentary films

Working closely with local communities and the arts and cultural sector, we are proud to produce compelling stories which may not otherwise make it to mainstream media. Passionate about oral history, cultural revitalisation and environmental awareness, we invite the voices of resistance, stories unheard.
Ex: series on the issue of water allocations in the Northern Territory, to a series of short films for a National museum/British Museum exhibition.
