-
"In July 2011 Brisbane's Cultural Centre provided the setting for a landmark project-a showcase of Torres Strait Island art and culture on a scale never before seen. ... The Clouds have stories: the art of the Torres Strait is an intimate tribute to the Torres Strait and a witness to the power of the work they create. ... The Clouds have stories is a film that blurs the boundary between art and nature, between music and the spoken word. This is a unique portrait of a place and its people, and of islanders adrift, who make art in order to remember home."--Back cover.
