Moody, a talented filmmaker and Wodi Wodi woman, is the Senior Manager, Indigenous Connections, at NFSA.
Ngara offers a variety of screenings and events at NFSA's venue in Acton, Canberra, while Nangamai showcases content from the national audiovisual collection available on nfsa.gov.au.
"Buwindja represents an opportunity for Australians to reflect on the part they play in ensuring that the voice that our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders have fought for in the past and present continues to be heard,' said Ms Moody.
"I curated it with the hope of inspiring audiences to reflect, imagine and act when they listen to and watch these stories."
