Jason Tamiru: Malhouse Producer at Indigenous Projects Australia

"I met Jason Tamiru, Malhouse Producer at Indigenous Projects in the Northern Territory, Australia. Meeting people in the Northern Territory was a very different experience to the previous Monologues for Two. I found these monologues a delight and very at odds with some of the stereotypical understanding of aboriginals. Within these monologues Jason,Tom and Kamahi all in their way have criticisms of the outside world, a world polluted by consumerism and almost full abolition of traditions.

This series of Australian monologues is vital for viewing for younger generations like me, it provides an escape into a different reality and allows us to reestablish our viewpoint on the aboriginals and their understanding of the world. It is important to approach this monologue with out any ‘western’ biases in order to gain maximum utility from the viewing.”

About Monologue for Two

An inspiring short film interview series spanning generations and cross-pollinating subjects, brought to you by 16 year old Daniella Kaliada who explains, “I'm 16 years old and I am a political refugee in the UK. Four years ago I was smuggled out of Belarus with my parents during the dictatorship’s deadly election crackdown. Living in London, I finally discovered freedom and have come to understand that it is multifaceted. In this interview series I ask luminaries in their field, how they came to do what they do and advice they can give my generation. As I approach leaving school and getting on in the world, I seek to understand the lessons learned by previous generations and the wisdom they can pass on.”
