But Also John Clarke

We’re very excited to be sharing the new trailer and poster for hilarious and heartfelt BUT ALSO JOHN CLARKE. A landmark celebration of Australia’s most loved satirists, BUT ALSO JOHN CLARKE brings to the big screen the wit, wisdom and enduring legacy of the late John Clarke.

Through an intimate series of recorded conversations with his daughter and director Lorin Clarke, audiences are invited into the personal life of the man whose humour shaped our national identity

Laced with interviews from a phenomenal cast of contributors, including Sam Neill (Jurassic Park), Bryan Dawe (The Castle), Andrew Knight (Hacksaw Ridge), Anne Edmonds, Andrew Denton and Ben Elton.

When satirist John Clarke died in 2017, the world mourned an icon. A defining comedic voice for over forty years, Clarke gave away very little about his own life. At home, by contrast, he was an open book. In a remarkable series of recorded conversations, John and his daughter (writer/director Lorin Clarke) trace his steadfast resistance to authority back to his childhood, delve into his early career forging a career in New Zealand, and offer delightful insights into his four decades in the entertainment industry.
