Two dames collaborate on a new documentary

Photo: supplied Dame Robin White is one of the country's most significant and prolific living artists. Dame Gaylene Preston is one of the country's foremost documentarians. The two met for the first time in 2021 at a Rita Angus retrospective at Te Papa. Dame Gaylene approached Dame Robin and, after a while, suggested she could make a film about her and her career which spans more than 50 years. The result is Grace: A Prayer for Peace - a feature length documentary about Dame Robin White, which had its premiere at the International Film Festival on Sunday night - with another screening on Friday in Auckland. Other screenings will be held around the country as the festival moves south. Susie Ferguson talks with Dame Robin and Dame Gaylene about their film, their friendship and the art of collaboration.
