Set in 1930s outback Australia and based on a true story, �One Night the Moon� is a moving dramatic musical. Captivated by the moon one night, Emily, a six year old girl, climbs out of her bedroom window and wanders into the bush. Her distraught parents call in the police but, against all advice, her father refuses to let Albert, the black tracker - or any other �blackfella� - onto his land. After exhausting and fruitless searches, Emily's mother takes matters into her own hands and asks Albert for help. Aboriginal filmmaker Rachel Perkins (whose first feature, �Radiance� was voted best film at the Sydney and Melbourne Film Festivals) draws together award winning cinematography of the starkly beautiful landscape, and powerful, emotional music composed in part by the acclaimed singer/songwriter Paul Kelly who also stars as the father. Perkins' understated treatment of the underlying racial issues only serves to emphasize their current relevance. Winner of the Gold Awgie Award 2001 (Australian Writers Guild's top honor) and screened at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival.
