THE LEGEND OF TIBROGARGAN BY ANNA DOYLE

"THE LEGEND OF TIBROGARGAN is an experimental home movie about the Australian identity and about my Australian identity: growing up in France, I felt far from the country to which I belonged. Ten years after my last visit, I decide to pay homage to my ancestors. Left with one of my grand-father’s orchestral compositions, The Legend of Tibrogargan, and a radio recording of his voice telling the legend, I film the Australian landscape, threading the sounds, smells and images that form the backbone of my vision of this formerly colonised and flood-torn country. The music was inspired by the indigenous legend of the Glasshouse Mountains (called “Daki comon” in the native language), where a family of spiritual dreamtime ancestors, threatened by the rising seas, eventually become part of the earth."

Anna Doyle is a researcher and filmmaker. Her doctoral research focuses on the aesthetics and history of experimental cinema in Eastern Europe. Inspired by the anthropological concept of "survival" (Warburg), her photochemical films put into contrast/contact ancestral or invented mythologies with the alienation and poetry of the contemporary world.
