Not Quite Square - Owner built house in the Northern Rivers
44 mins : Documentary : 2013 The Northern Rivers is home to a multitude of wonderful houses designed, made and lived in by people who have chosen to live outside the square. Lismore Regional Gallery's exhibition studied this phenomenon and tracked the influence of an owner builder culture that emerged in the region after the 1973 Aquarius Festival in Nimbin. This documentary accompanied the exhibition and explores four extraordinary structures, their origins and inspiration. |
This excerpt shows the opening few minutes, plus a snippet from one of the buildings. The full film is available on DVD exclusively via the Lismore Regional Gallery.
