Radiance is a 1998 Australian independent film. It is the first feature film directed by Rachel Perkins, and only the third feature directed by an Indigenous Australian person. It is about three Indigenous sisters who reunite for their mother's funeral, and is based on the 1993 play written by Louis Nowra.

Production

Rachel Perkins became aware of the play when she saw Trisha Morton-Thomas perform Mae's beach monologue as a part of the Eora College end-of-year student showcase. Perkins called Louis Nowra to adapt it into a half-hour drama, but Nowra suggested they make it as a feature film.

Perkins said later that it took a long time to cast the main characters, who included Deb Mailman, then a newcomer from Brisbane, and that they rehearsed for six weeks before filming began. The actors got to know their characters really well, and added ideas to the script.

Louis Nowra wrote the script, Ned Lander produced the film, and the cinematographer was Warwick Thornton.

Radiance was filmed at Agnes Water, Rosedale, Childers, Bundaberg, and Hervey Bay in Queensland, and in Sydney.
