Robert Nugent

Rob is a Canberra based film maker whose enquiries often document local and global situations bumping into the non-human world. His films employ and critique various documentary forms. His last three films came out of expeditions to remote locations in Indonesia, Guinea, Iraq, Ethiopia, Egypt, Tanzania and Australia. His 2007 film, 'End of the Rainbow', won international film awards and screened in Europe and the US. He directs and shoots, but not necessarily in that order. He came of age when he discovered the 'Canberra School' of film making. Before that he was just making it all up.
