This month, our Film Club takes time to honour the remarkable life of David Stratton AM, who recently passed away and leaves behind an extraordinary legacy in Australian cinema.
In this special session, we’ll explore the fascinating development of our cinematic history through David’s own reflections. From his childhood experiences of seeing Australia depicted on film in England, to his arrival here as a ten-pound pom in 1963, David devoted his life to celebrating and critiquing the stories told on screen.
David Stratton was more than a critic, he was a passionate advocate for the power of storytelling and a beloved voice who helped generations of Australians discover the joy of cinema. His legacy lives on in every frame of film he championed.
