The Deckchair Cinema will transform into a circus of colour,
music and dance when Relationships Australia NT holds its free family film
night as part of National Families Week on Thursday.
Celebrating culture and relationships, the night includes an
African drumming workshop, performances by Indigenous dance troupe One Mob
Different Country and screening of the popular animation Finding
Nemo.
National Families Week, which runs from 15 to 21 May, aims
to bring awareness to the role of families in achieving a happy and healthy
lifestyle.
Relationships Australia NT Chief Executive Officer Marie
Morrison said the organisation increasingly works with families and children.
“We provide assistance to families in various ways including
strengthening relationships, mediation, counselling and support for those going
through tough times,” she said.
Relationships Australia NT services 3500 Territorians on
average annually and more than 20 per cent are Aboriginal.
“Our Family Film Night is an opportunity for everyone to
enjoy a night of free fun and entertainment.
“It will celebrate the different faces of family, tradition
and community, and we encourage everyone to attend.”
The Relationship Australia NT Family Film Night starts at
6pm with Finding Nemo screening from 7:30pm.
A tasty array of foods including Greek and Indian, and
snacks will be available for purchase.
