Deborah Mailman collection

The NFSA is celebrating AACTA, AFI, Deadly and Logie award-winning actor Deborah Mailman in this online collection covering her stellar screen career.

Alongside her extensive work in theatre, Deborah has an impressive list of film and TV credits dating back to the late 1990s.

Highlights featured in this collection include her 1998 film debut Radiance,which the NFSA digitally restored in 2021, and the 2019 political drama series Total Control,a recent NFSA acquisition.

As well as being one of Australia's favourite actors, Deborah Mailman is also an important figure in First Nations filmmaking and storytelling. Her work has been part of a movement that has reframed the way Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island actors are cast in mainstream productions and helped empower Aboriginal artists to tell their own stories.

We hope you enjoy this showcase of Deborah Mailman's phenomenal talents.

WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following program may contain images and/or audio of deceased persons.
