SAM Presents: Whiteley (M) – Documentary Screening
7 December 2022
WHITELEY is 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. The documentary is directed by James Bogle and produced by Sue Clothier.
The film records Whiteley’s life and artistic process and gives us an insight into Australia’s cultural and artistic history.
While his brief, dazzling life was erratic, combustible and tragic, Whiteley also created a highly productive and brilliant artistic vortex around which much of our 70s and 80s sense of self-worth as an aggressively creative nation emerged.
Wednesday 7 December 2:00-3:30PM
Screening will begin promptly at 2pm.
Please note this is film is rated M for mature audiences.
