Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mob be warned this post contains the image and name of the dead. 

Mandhalpuyngu actor, artist and elder David Dalaithngu has passed away at 68 after a prolonged battle with lung cancer. Dalaithngu’s family have given permission for his photo to be used, asking that he be known as David Dalaithngu in death in accordance with traditional Yolngu bereavement practices.

David Dalaithngu was a titan of cinema, shaping and paving the way for Blakfella representation on the silver screen until his death. For many around the world, Dalaithngu was the first Aboriginal they ever saw on screen. Known and beloved internationally for his role in Crocodile Dundee, Dalaithngu shot to fame as a teenager in 1971 when he played a lone youth walking the outback as a rite of passage in Walkabout. His final role was in the 2019 film Storm Boy.

Vale, Uncle David Gulpilil Ridjimiraril Dalaithngu (1953 – 2021)

‘David Dalaithngu AM has gone to his ancestral homeland. An actor, dancer, artist, of the Yolngu, from Arnhem Land, across five decades he hugely shaped Australian cinema and Aboriginal representation on screen. Rest in Peace.’

“Acting came natural to me,” he said. “I know how to walk across the land in front of a camera, because I belong there.”

1.

A deeply moving actor and character. All the collaborations with Rolf De Heer facilitate a different relation to the landscape.

2.

Excerpt:

Dalaithngu had a string of successful roles in the 1970s including in Storm Boy (1976) and The Last Wave (1977). But his longest creative collaboration was with director Rolf de Heer, with whom he worked for more than 15 years. Together they crafted The Tracker (2002) for which Dalaithngu won an Aactar award, Ten Canoes (2006) and Charlie’s Country (2014) for which Dalaithngu won best actor in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section.

De Heer described Dalaithngu as a “consummate actor”, who rarely required direction.

“When I first met David, I didn’t know how I would ever direct him in a film. We were so culturally far apart,” de Heer told the ABC in 2015.

“I didn’t know how to talk with him. David said, ‘You have to come to my country; you have to come visit me in my country. I did, and we shared experiences that we can still talk about.’”

3.

In Australian indigenous cultures there are protocols about how people are named during the mourning period.

David Dalaithngu can now also be referred to by his more common named: David Gulpilil.

The message 1976 film guide

THE MESSAGE 1976 FILM GUIDE MOVIE

A remake – which “an older Mike Kingsley recounts his pelican adventures to his wayward granddaughter” – is even in the works (perhaps hoping to recreate the success of 2011’s surprise hit Red Dog), to the doubtless delight of primary school teachers across the nation. A recent restoration has toured the country, playing at Adelaide panel discussions, the Canberra International Film Festival and this year’s Brisbane Asia Pacific Film Festival. The Guardian’s 2014 rewatch of the film celebrated it as “a drama deeply attuned to its own aesthetic” while a recent FilmInk retrospective noted that “the film truly stands the test of time.”Īdmittedly, Storm Boy’s prominence may have waned somewhat over recent years – not helped by a middling-quality DVD transfer – but its 40th anniversary has seen it swoop back into the public consciousness in a big way. Forty years on from its premiere at Adelaide’s Fair Lady Theatre on the 18th of November, 1976, Storm Boy remains an important piece of Australian film culture. Storm Boy’s release was heralded by a handful of awards, largely from Australian institutions – most notably the Best Film gong at the 1977 AFI Awards (Safran, Dalaithngu and screenwriter Sonia Borg also nabbed AFI nominations). But the idyllic rhythms of lagoon life are challenged by the encroachments of the real world, and all that implies for Storm Boy’s unconventional childhood. Storm Boy forges a friendship with Fingerbone and one of the pelicans, named Mr Percival. ‘Storm Boy’ is thus named by Fingerbone Bill (David Dalaithngu), with whom he rescues a trio of pelican chicks, abandoned after their mother’s death. It takes place in a remote South Australian lagoon system and national park called the Coorong. The film stars prepubescent Greg Rowe as the titular ‘Storm Boy’, better known as Mike to his dad Tom Kingsley (Peter Cummins), whose own nickname, ‘Hide-Away Tom’, effectively summarises his hermitic tendencies. (The G-rating and supplementary education kits can’t have hurt, either.) Its message of environmental conservatism and social acceptance has ensured that generations of kids have been treated to fuzzy VHS transfers of the film. Henri Safran’s adaptation of Colin Thiele’s 1964 novel established its reputation with a then-impressive haul of $2.6 million at the local box office, since maintaining a cultural foothold thanks in large part to its ubiquity in primary school classrooms.

hey I know ppl generally don't like reading on this site, but I put in the caption of my david dalaithngu tribute that his family gave permission for his image to be shared (so stop messaging me about sharing his image) BUT have requested he be referred to as david dalaithngu now that he has passed as per sacred Yolngu grieving practices. Please use his name according to those practices, do not use his stage name in your tags/comments. It's disrespectful.
