Tony Williams and Anna Hewgill spent three years immersing themselves in the NSW town of Robertson, to create a documentary about rural life in a small village. A Place Called Robertson is an exuberant and whimsical film that takes an affectionate look at the
characters who live in a unique Australian country town. The values of these often quirky old-timers rub off on the newcomers who are seeking a tree change. And the new residents discover there is more to Robertson than just trees.
The film stars a cast of characters from the Robertson community and features Elegy in a Country Graveyard by Andrew Ford.
A Place Called Robertson will be introduced by Tony Williams.
