Whiteley

The Life and Legacy of One of Australia's Most Celebrated Artists

A visual journey into the private life and creative legacy of Australia's most iconic artist, Brett Whiteley, told "in his own words" using personal letters, notebooks and photographs, interwoven with reconstructions, animations, archival interviews and rare footage.

Whiteley's artworks were made across just 30 years, but their ongoing impact on Australia's creative culture is extraordinary: he blazed a trail that still lights a path forward for a new generation of artists.

Winner of Best Direction in a Documentary and nominated for Best Feature Length Documentary at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Awards. Winner of the AACTA Award for Best Documentary at the Film Critics Circle of Australia Awards.

"This is a major documentary that deserves to be seen by anyone in Australia with even a passing interest in art." - Lynden Barber, Limelight
