But Also John Clarke

Synopsis

An intimate tribute to the life and work of one of Australia & New Zealand’s greatest satirists, John Clarke, told through the eyes of his daughter Lorin.

In public, Clarke was famously guarded about his life, but at home he was an open book.

Through a remarkable series of recorded conversations, we trace his steadfast resistance to authority back to his childhood; unpack his controversial decision to leave New Zealand for Australia in 1977; and gain delightful insights into his four decades in the entertainment industry.

Weaving together personal anecdotes, a rich television archive, tales from international comedy greats and the riches from more than 200 boxes of his work and letters, this film is a daughter gifting her father back to his audience.
