Margaret Preston: Her art and life
Cinematic Sydney
Wednesdays 2pm & 7.15pm
Sundays 2pm
Films are held in the Gallery’s Domain Theatre
Free
At a time when Australians looked to other countries
for culture, Margaret Preston's artwork celebrated the local. She
validated the familiar, the indigenous and the everyday. In the
1970s, with support from the government, Australian filmmakers began
asserting the same objectives Preston had, in striving to create
a 'national cinema'. This selection of feature films and documentaries
is devoted to Preston's city of Sydney.
