Checkerboard Love

Anita Heiss | Australia 2004 | 5 min

Checkerboard Love is a short film about an mixed-race couple whose parents will meet for the first time; and it’s more stressful than usual.

Should they keep their Aboriginal decoration or replace it with “traditional white” icons?

Will this interracial couple leave the Shakespeare on the bookshelf and the dreamcatcher on the wall?
