00:02Thousands of lanterns lighting up the Albany night sky.
00:05It's one of the biggest artworks ever made.
00:08Four kilometres long.
00:10It takes thousands of people to make it.
00:12Families braving wet and windy conditions
00:14to celebrate the end of the city's bicentenary
00:17with a spectacular light display.
00:19Hundreds of kids carrying sea stars.
00:21There's people carrying handcrafted quants,
00:24so made out of sticks and fabric.
00:26Everyone has made their own
00:28and it means something different to each person.
00:30The massive artwork using cutting edge technology.
00:33They're all holding mobile phones that have an app on them
00:36that switch their torches on and off
00:38in beautiful sequences that have been designed to go with the music.
00:41To tell traditional First Nations tales.
00:44We incorporated dreaming stories
00:47and actual physical practices that used to occur
00:52and we wove the whole five lantern themes into that story
00:59to create the choreography.
01:04Carrying the fire, we used the biara, which is the banksha nut
01:06and which is what the women used to carry from different campsites.
01:12Lanterns handed to hundreds of volunteers
01:14to lead thousands through the night.
01:16Some people will be walking as far as they can
01:19from Emu Point all the way to Binilap.
01:21Some people will be staying on the beach lighting it up
01:24and we hope that it's not just beautiful
01:27but it will inspire a lot of hope for a lot of people.
01:29A community celebrating the past while looking to the future.
01:33Let's go.
01:33Let's go.
