“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.”
