audioIn an interview recorded just before a theatrical screening of The Eternity Man at the Barbican, Alex Fitch talks to director Julien Temple about his film version of the modern opera by Dorothy Porter and Jonathan Mills. The Eternity Man tells the true story of Arthur Stace who wandered the streets of Sydney for two generations, writing the word ‘Eternity’ in chalk on a myriad of surfaces.

Temple also discusses the rest of his work from Absolute Beginners to Pandaemonium as well as the use of a combination of fact and fiction on screen.
