"On Borrowed Time", A David Bradbury Film

PAUL COXʼS LIFE CELEBRATED IN NEW FILM BY DAVID BRADBURY

On Borrowed Time the new film by Oscar nominated director David Bradbury, about the incredible life of another veteran Australian filmmaker, Paul Cox, will be screened in Sydney at the Chauvel Cinema on November 23rd at 6pm.

On Borrowed Time tells of a highly original artist and auteur looking back on his life...as he confronts his own mortality.

Paul Cox has made 22 feature films, 11 documentaries and a series of shorts. Itʼs a remarkable output not realised by any of his peers. None. And with the exception of Molokai - the Story of Father Damien, all of Paulʼs films have been low budget, all made outside the Hollywood model and defiant of trivia and gratuitous violence.

On Borrowed Time documents Coxʼs reflections on Life and Death, Love, Art and Beauty - major themes that run through Paulʼs films, stretching over a remarkable 40 years.
