Saturday Nights is a single channel video about a country-dance that Newitt facilitated in early March 2007 at the Koonya Hall on the Tasman Peninsula. Saturday Nights (shot on HDV) combines documentary observations and scripted actions to reveal aspects of the personal histories and relationships between a community of people who were involved in the country-dance.
