The Many Loves of Geoffrey Dutton
About
Dutton was a writer, poet, publisher and founder of the Adelaide Festival and Writer’s Week. Married to Ninette for 40 years he walked away from his family and from Adelaide and his later life brought controversy, fuelled by his autobiography, “Out In The Open.” A close friend of Patrick White they had a bitter falling-out but he remained close with Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko.Geoff’s many loves included two wives, a fiancé, many mistresses, his children, fast cars, travel, flying, literature and art and his upbringing was dominated by material wealth but haunted by emotional poverty. He was a founding member of the Republican Movement in the 1960’s
Featuring interviews with the Dutton children, TV identity Paula Nagle, Festival director Anthony Steel, artist Lawrence Dawes and writers Peter Goldsworthy and Nicholas Jose, the film challenges the image and reputation of one of Australia’s great arts figures.
The Dutton story is told with the aid of home movies from the 40s
