SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION: Songs for Barry Brickell at Central Cinema

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION: Songs for Barry Brickell

72 mins | Rated TBC


Special Screening - Includes Q+A with Director and narrator. Also wine and cheese.

Spontaneous Combustion celebrates the legacy of Barry Brickell (1935-2016) and the
realisation of his extraordinary dream, Driving Creek Railway & Pottery: a productive pottery
with numerous kilns, a bush railway, a native bird and bush sanctuary and a lively creative
hub attracting artists from around the globe.
This film is a love-song, a paean to those things that Barry Brickell held dear: the bush, the
railway, conversation, song, and art-making in all its varied practices. It reflects the sensual
attachment Brickell felt to the land and human form, as expressed in the ceramic sculptures
that defined his creativity.
A cinematic montage of historic stills and film from present day Driving Creek, is woven with
a spirited, poetic narration by Greg O'Brien. The sumptuous soundtrack performed by
Robert Oliver and the Palliser Viols with renowned taonga pūoro player, Mahina-Ina Kingi-
Kaui, features compositions by Gillian Karawe Whitehead and Ross Harris.
