THE EDGE OF THE WORLD gives a unique insight into the work of Tim Winton, one of Australia’s finest authors. By 1998, when this film was made, Winton had already won the Miles Franklin Award twice (for Shallows, 1984 and Cloudstreet, 1992) and been shortlisted for the Booker Prize for The Riders (1995). In THE EDGE OF THE WORLD, shot partly on the magnificent coast and hinterland of Australia’s north-west, Winton talks frankly about his work, his influences and what drives him.
