AWW23: For the Love of Language - Terence Davies

Chair: Neil Armfield


Over his 40-year career in filmmaking, Terence Davies has
explored the lives of some of the great writers of the 20th
century – Edith Wharton, Emily Dickinson, Lewis Grassic Gibbon,
Terence Rattigan and Siegfried Sassoon. It is the inner life at
the domestic hearth that has been his preoccupation. No
contemporary filmmaker has plumbed the nature of the literary
life with greater respect for the text. He joins Neil Armfield
AO, Australia’s pre-eminent director of theatre, film and opera,
to explore how literature is transformed in other art forms.
