When I asked Barbara Blackman if âthis autobiographical film was based on her autobiographical reflections, Glass after glass, which made such a splash when it was first published in 1997â, the answer was a resounding ânoâ.
âOne life has many autobiographies,â she says, âit depends on where you place a shaft of memory.âÂ

We shall be presenting a series of 'Photo Stories' over the coming weeks that go into greater detail about the remarkable life of Barbara Blackman.
Words by the film's director, John Swindells.
We begin In the 1970s, Barbara and Charles were living back in Sydney. Charles was painting prolifically and his art was in great demand. Barbara was writing for several publications. She was passionate about setting up a school for teenagers who were not engaged by conventional education. With support from like-minded people, she and Charles established Chiron College. In 1973, Charles and Barbara bought Clifton Villa, an old grand house in Balmain, and set about renovating it into a school.
Chiron College was a specialised two-year matriculation school. It offered small classes and individual tuition. It was co-educational and provided a more relaxed and non-institutional environment than state or other private schools The College attracted much interest and support from a range of famous and influential people.
To help its financial standing in its first years, two hundred prominent Australian poets, novelists, historians, composers, cartoonists, painters, politicians and others provided a page of their own work for a manuscript collection that was auctioned to benefit the school.
The Chiron Manuscript collection included contributions by Xavier Herbert, Bob Hawke, Barry Humphries, John Olson, Peter Sculthorpe, Judith Wright, Brett Whitely, Margaret Whitlam, John Coburn and Professor Manning Clarke amongst many others.
My most critical preview audience was Barbara Blackman herself. Barbara is blind. The soundtrack to her story would have to speak to her in a visual sense in a way much like early radio drama did.

National screenings launch in July.

At 89, Barbara is still an energetic patron of the Arts, a muse to prominent artists and musicians, a social advocate and tireless activist. Now in the winter of her life, many of her old friends have gone. Knowing that her time on earth is coming to an end, she focuses on reconciling her past and preparing for her death. This is a story about finding and loss; connection and re-connection.

âI wasnât born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but with something much better â a question mark⌠And I have asked âwhyâ? What is life? How does one live it, then âwhy?â
As an old woman to be still an explorer with the terrible thought â that one may have the experience, but miss the meaning.â - Barbara Blackman
