The ceremonial of Indigenous Australians are the first subjects to be recorded in Australia. At the Cannes Film Festival in 1955, a film which titled “Jedda” was the first Australian feature film to be recorded in color and the first star Aboriginal actors. In the 1990s and early 21st Century, the films about Indigenous Australians were increasing. Rolf de Heer's “ Ten Canoes” was the first major feature film to be shot in an indigenous language and it took place at Cannes in 2006.
