Movie
For Dan
2022
A quiet, impressionistic drift through old letters and landscapes, more meditative essay than story, rewarding patience with a soft sense of vanished lives.
- Directed by
- Luke Fowler
- Overview
- A companion piece to Mum’s Cards, For Dan explores an intense period of correspondence between the artist’s late father and his closest friend, radical university lecturer Dan O’Neill. Filmed in an eco-community in Queensland, the film impressionistically documents both the friendship between these two young men and sketches a partial political history of Australia in the early 1960s.
