  • "Documentaire. Des documentaristes renommés de l'Australie témoignent des difficultés qu'ils ont surmontées lors de tournages auprès de cultures différentes. Les issus et les pièges du pelliculage sont mis en évidence à l'aide d'extraits de documents filmiques réalisés en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée. La vidéo couvre également le travail de réalisateurs indigènes. Elle pose un regard sur l'expérience documentaire, une enquête qui englobe divers caractères : pratique, esthétique et politique."
  • "Taking pictures focuses on several Australian film makers and the internationally renowned documentaries they made in Papua New Guinea in the 1970s-90s. Juxtaposing clips of the films with interviews of the filmmakers, it reflects upon the Western tradition of inquiring into and recording other people's lives, raising questions about representation and filming in another culture. The film features interviews with a variety of Australian filmmakers who have worked extensively in PNG, including Bob Connolly and Robin Anderson, Chris Owen, Dennis O'Rourke and Gary Kildea. This documentary is a fascinating tracing of PNG culture and history from the 1930s until today."@en
