Curator’s notes
Round Up is a lighthearted drama that deals with the cultural clash between a white stockman and an Indigenous stockman. The first collaboration between director Rima Tamou and producer Pauline Clague after the pair graduated from the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS), Round Up was well received.
