Gulpilil wins prestigious art award
29.05.13
David Gulpilil was awarded the Australia Council's top arts award, the Red Ochre award, at the Sydney Opera House earlier this week.
The film actor first came to fame in the 1971 film Walkabout, which he learnt English for. He has since appeared in Tracker, Rabbit Proof Fence, Crocodile Dundee and other great Australian films.
Gulpilil will put the $50 000 prize money towards funding jobs programs for Indigenous youth in Arnhem Land.
The award recognises outstanding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the arts. Previous winners have been Warren H Williams, Jimmy Little, Archie Roach and Justine Saunders.
