Local documentary Paul Kelly: Stories of Me has continued its strong box office performance, topping the limited release chart in its second weekend after grossing more than $93,000.
The film, which premiered at the 2012 Melbourne International Film Festival, follows the life and career of singer-songwriter Paul Kelly. This weekend's special event screenings grossed $93,961 over seven screens, for an impressive $13,423 screen average.
It has been a strong year for Australian feature documentaries.
