David and Margaret are set to reunite at the Sydney premiere screening of Transmission's new feature doc David Stratton: A Cinematic Life.
The premiere will take place at the Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace in Cremorne next Tuesday, February 28, followed by Pomeranz and Stratton in conversation after the film.
The documentary, directed by Sally Aitken and executive produced by Sherpa's Jen Peedom, features the likes of Gillian Armstrong, Eric Bana, Bryan Brown, Russell Crowe, Judy Davis, Nicole Kidman, George Miller, Sam Neill, Geoffrey Rush, Fred Schepisi, Warwick Thornton, Jacki Weaver and Hugo Weaving.
“The documentary provides insight to a side of David the Australian public haven’t seen before," said Transmission Films Joint Managing Directors Richard Payten and Andrew Mackie in a statement. "The chance to have David attend these screenings and speak personally about his life is a privilege.”
Another Sydney Q&A will take place on Wednesday March 1 at Palace Norton Street. Stratton will also be appearing at screenings in Canberra, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne from late February in the run-up to the film's national release on March 9.
