The Tracker is a 2002 Australian Western directed and written by Rolf de Heer and starring David Gulpilil, Gary Sweet and Damon Gameau. It is set in 1922 in outback Australia where a colonial policeman (Sweet) uses the tracking ability of an Indigenous Australian tracker (Gulpilil) to find the alleged murderer of a white woman.

Production

The film was shot in the semi-arid, rugged Arkaroola Sanctuary, in South Australia's Flinders Ranges. De Heer used an intentionally small film crew, saying that "It's all a much better process ...". Lyrics of the soundtrack (written by De Heer) form part of the narrative, and are sung by Archie Roach with music composed by Graham Tardif.

Peter Coad, an artist from South Australia, was hired by de Heer to create paintings that intercut the film to portray the brutal actions not shown. As preliminary work, Coad spent a month in Arkaroola. In total 14 paintings appear in the film, each painted on location in the same ratio used in the film, 1:2.
