If you like this film, let us know!
Add to a movie list40,000 Years of Dreaming is an hour-long documentary film presented by George Miller and produced by the British Film Institute, as part of their Century of Cinema series.
The film acts mainly as a collage of various pieces of Australian film, past and present, including Miller's own Mad Max series.
In the film, Miller focuses primarily on Australian cinema as a vessel of public dreaming, creating a link between contemporary Australian cinema and the "dreamtime" stories of Aborigine folklore.
Miller also places Australian cinema in the context of Joseph Campbell's monomyth concept.
Since its release in 1997, it—along with several of the other films in the Century of Cinema series, outside of Martin Scorsese's feature—has long been out of print, minus the occasional television showing.

Ce documentaire retrace la biographie surprenante de l'artiste légendaire Maya Deren. Née à Kiev en 1917, elle devint un personnage central de l'avant-garde américaine après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Surtout connue pour son travail anticonformiste dans le film expérimental, elle était très active dans d'autres domaines politiques et culturels : elle fut poète, danseuse, et par-dessus tout une ethnographe renommée et une adepte des pratiques vaudou.

In the film, director Ross McElwee gets married, finally putting an end to his family's worrying; his grandmother dies; his wife Marilyn has a miscarriage; and his father, a medical doctor, dies suddenly within a week of McElwee's wife's miscarriage. His mother had died of cancer ten years earlier and so McElwee returns to his father's house, where his father's housekeeper ministers to him about Christianity and faith.
