Courtney Barnett

Lyrical brilliance and masterful instrumentals from the Australian singer-songwriter.

With unprecedented, intimate access to the private life of Courtney Barnett, this innovative and stylised 16mm feature documentary follows a paradoxically introverted performer and anti-influencer, who, at the height of success, is ready to walk away. Long-time collaborator Danny Cohen’s feature documentary reveals a woman who finds power in sharing her vulnerability. Recording her innermost thoughts on a Dictaphone over a period of three years, Courtney begins her slow acceptance of Danny Cohen’s camera. This unique filming process mirrors Courtney’s gradual search for purpose and emergence as an artist embracing her place in the world.

A group of young girls and gender-fluid youths discover the empowering strength of music through a GIRLS ROCK! camp in Melbourne.

A short film about Kurt Vile and Courtney Barnett's friendship and collaboration, told against the backdrop of the Loew's Jersey Theatre, one of the five original Loew's Wonder Theatres built in the NYC area in the 1920s, now a volunteer run community cinema. The story of the theatre is interspersed with live footage of Kurt and Courtney's recent show there.
