Parramatta Redux (38 minutes) uncovers the resilience of those who have called Parramatta home-from its First Nations custodians, whose deep spiritual connection to the river has endured for millennia, to early European settlers navigating unfamiliar lands, and successive waves of migrants who continue to shape the city's evolving identity. This documentary film tells a layered story of belonging, survival, and transformation. As new infrastructures rise and migration reshapes Western Sydney, the Parramatta River-and the ancestral spirits tied to its flow-stands as a powerful witness to the ongoing tensions between Country and displacement, heritage and modernity, and the pursuit of progress amid growing environmental uncertainty.

Parramatta Redux is an outcome of The Collaborative Museum: Embedding Cultural Infrastructure in the City (Australian Research Council Linkage Project LP200301481) and generous support from the Institute for Culture and Society, Western Sydney University.
