Central Cinema - Spontaneous Combustion - Songs for Barry Brickell.
Location: Central Cinema Inc
Region: Alexandra
Dates: Wed, 7 May 2025 @ 7pm
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.
