Blackfellas is a 1993 Australian drama film directed by James Ricketson and starring John Moore, David Ngoombujarra, Jack Charles, John Hargreaves and Ernie Dingo. It is an adaptation of Archie Weller's 1981 novel The Day of the Dog. The film won two AFI Awards and had its premiere at the Valhalla Cinema in Melbourne on 26 August 1993.

Production

James Ricketson became interested in the story in the early 1980s when he was directing an episode of Women of the Sun.

Ricketson talked of the conflicts during production of the racial issues of a white man telling a "blackfella" story and says Ngoombujarra said to him "You are a white-fella presuming to tell my story. Why should I trust you?"
