Unknown Pleasures: PETER TAMMER, Q&A, March 2025

Q&A at the screening of the film TRIP OF A LIFETIME @ Thornbury Picture House, Melbourne, Tuesday, March 18, 2025 Q&A was moderated by Bill Mousoulis (programmer) Q&A guest: Peter Tammer (film director) Videographer: Colin Hodson We present the World Premiere of a new feature film from Melbourne independent film legend Peter Tammer. Titled Trip of a Lifetime, this is a unique family footage film, Tammer being handed (in 1988) some unwanted 16mm. footage shot in 1950-51 of a seemingly ordinary older couple, as they travelled the world and recorded the sights they saw and the people they met up with. Stunningly restored by Tammer to a pristine high defintion, this is a heartfelt and exquisite film, honouring the existence of the people we see on screen, even if no-one (including Tammer) now knows who they are. A film one watches with awe and wonder.
