Ophir (97'), Alexandre Berman & Olivier Pollet, France / UK

Ophir tells the story of an extraordinary indigenous revolution for life, land and culture, leading up to the
potential creation of the world’s newest nation in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. A poetic yet dramatic
ode to the indelible thirst for freedom, culture and sovereignty; the film sheds light on the biggest conflict
of the Pacific since WWII, revealing the visible and invisible chains of colonisation and its enduring cycles of
physical and psychological warfare.
