, a singer-songwriter, and Kaarin Fairfax
, a film and television actress, and their daughter Memphis Kelly. Directed by Rachel Perkins
and written by Perkins with John Romeril

, South Australia
for six weeks in early 2000. Kelton Pell portrayed an Aboriginal tracker

.
One Night the Moon was inspired by the story of indigenous tracker, Alexander Riley as depicted in Black Tracker (1997), a documentary
directed by Riley's grandson, Michael Riley. Alexander Riley had worked for the New South Wales
police in Dubbo in the early 1900s, finding wanted criminals, missing persons and hidden caches. Composer/singer Mairead Hannan saw the documentary and formed a project with her sister Deirdre Hannan, Kelly, Carmody, Alice Garner
, Romeril and Perkins. Aside from the search for a missing child, the film deals with the racist attitude depicted by the father's refusal to use an indigenous tracker. The film was Paul Kelly's cinematic debut, while his then wife, Fairfax had a lead role in two related TV mini-series Harp in the South
and Poor Man's Orange
in 1987, and roles in films Belinda (1988) and Young Einstein
(1989). Fairfax had her film debut with a minor role in 1982's Starstruck
which had Paul Kelly and the Dots supplying a song for the soundtrack.
as a farmer, Jim Ryan, newly settled in the area. He is the father of a girl, Emily (Memphis Kelly, his real life daughter), who climbs out the window of their farmhouse one night and follows the moon into the hills. Rose Ryan (Kelly's then wife Kaarin Fairfax
and mother of Memphis) comes to check on her daughter only to find that Emily is missing.
The Ryans get the local police, led by a sergeant (Chris Haywood
), to search for her, but when their Aboriginal
tracker, Albert Yang (Kelton Pell) arrives, the father says he does not want any blacks on his land. Jim Ryan and the white police go searching for Emily, destroying evidence Albert could have used to find the girl. The white men cannot find her, eventually Rose goes to Albert's hut and together they go looking for Emily, they find her dead in the hills and bring her body back home. Albert's wife (Ruby Hunter
) sings the funeral song for the lost child, whilst their own child is missing - as part of the 'Stolen Generations' - taken by white authorities. Jim blames himself for not finding Emily and commits suicide.
, Black Tracker on Australian Broadcasting Corporation
(ABC) TV, concerned an indigenous
tracker called Alexander Riley from Dubbo, New South Wales. Singer-songwriter Mairead Hannan saw Black Tracker, she liked the story about a young boy who disappeared near Dubbo in 1932 and was tracked by Riley. Hannan wanted to tell the story as a musical for a project sponsored by ABC TV's Arts and Entertainment department. Mairead enlisted her sister and fellow composer Deirdre Hannan, then other composers/performers Paul Kelly
, Kev Carmody
and Alice Garner
to help with the project. Screenwriter John Romeril
and director Rachel Perkins were approached and together wrote the screenplay. Garner was due to take the part of Rose Ryan, the mother, but became pregnant so Kaarin Fairfax
(Kelly's wife) undertook the role. Aside from the search for a missing child, the film deals with the racist attitude depicted by the father's refusal to use the indigenous tracker. The original story was about the tracker seeking a young boy who had gone missing, but Perkins decided a missing girl would have greater impact and also shifted the focus to the despairing mother. Fairfax and Kelly volunteered their seven-year-old daughter, Memphis Kelly, for the part of the lost child. Location filming occurred on Andyamathanha land in the Flinders Ranges
and other sites in South Australia
for six weeks early in 2000. Kelton Pell portrayed the indigenous
tracker, Albert with Ruby Hunter
playing his wife. Musical score was by Kelly, Kev Carmody
and Mairead Hannan, and with other artists they also contributed to the soundtrack.
