This film is not so much about Fuller but rather Buckminster Fuller explaining himself in his own words. As such, it is a fascinating historical document. Fuller was great at pitching his ideas. Appropriately the film begins with Fuller lecturing on the concept of Spaceship Earth, a theory that defines the Earth as a closed system. This is in contrast to an infinite one that allows for perpetual growth. It is not an idea that originated with him but he certainly popularized it. A finite Earth seems obvious today but in the 1960s it was a radical idea, and one we still have yet to accept.

While waiting for the end of the world, Max and Norbert chat.

It is perceived rather too late that the planet has been dying for a long time. Among the people of the world that are showing surprising calmness after the announcement that the Earth has only one year of life left, a brother and a sister await ‘the end of the world.’ This work makes viewers re-evaluate everyday life by destroying the assumption that tomorrow will always exist.

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.
