Miah-Tya Nungheena Gowland works across film, motion graphics, photography, design, and digital zine making to explore personal and community narratives in regional Australia. Screen arts is her primary medium, with hands-on experience as producer, editor and cinematographer throughout all production stages.
Recent projects include producing and shooting the seven-part web series That Night, editing the Corroboree Frog and APY Lands documentary with Imogen Thomas Films, and producing The National Threatened Species Documentary. In 2024, The Gap Year debuted, the film explores the world of zines and growing up in a regional NSW town, it was funded by the Veolia Mulwaree Fund and showcases the stunning landscape of the Queanbeyan-Palerang Region. She regularly works as a live content mixer and editor for major public programs at the National Gallery of Australia, such as the Betty Churcher Annual Lecture, Lindy Lee’s Annual Lecture, and Friday Art Talks, with edited content published on NGA On Demand.
Film education is central to her practice, including teaching at the Braidwood Academy of Community Arts and collaborating with the Powerhouse Museum to create the Capsule Documentary Program as part of the Creative Studio. This program, held in Sydney and Queanbeyan, combines zine making and filmmaking to encourage youth to reflect on identity, place, and community through blended storytelling forms.
Her work explores themes of early adulthood, regional Australian life, and queer identity, with screenings at the Canberra Short Film Festival, Young Australian Film Festival, Palace Electric Cinema, and Smiths Alternative.
