Warwick Thornton's Sweeping New Outback Western 'Wolfram' In Cinemas
Set on the colonial frontier of the 1930s, in the same universe as Thornton's multi-award-winning Sweet Country, Wolfram follows two swaggering outlaws who roll into a mining town, their cruelty shattering a fragile community and driving three irrepressible kids to break free from their white masters and set off across the Australian outback in search of home.
Starring the brilliant Deborah Mailman alongside Erroll Shand, Joe Bird, Thomas M Wright, Matt Nable and Pedrea Jackson, and produced by Bunya Productions' Greer Simpkin and David Jowsey, Wolfram is a taut frontier western where Aboriginal child labourers in the wolfram (tungsten) mines confront colonial brutality and injustice.
Wolfram is written by Steven McGregor and David Tranter and Tranter co-produces with Drew Bailey, and is co-distributed by Dark Matter Distribution and Bonsai Films.
Wolfram had its international premiere in the Main Competition of the 76th Berlin International Film Festival in February 2026, where it was nominated for the prestigious Golden Bear.
Director Warwick Thornton will embark on a Q&A screening tour beginning Wednesday 8th April in Darwin, with other cast, including Deborah Mailman at selected events.
