Tim Burstall

Died in 2004

Tim Burstall was born on 20 April 1927 in Stockton-on-Tees, England, and arrived in Australia in 1937, when his father became a professor of engineering at the University of Melbourne. In 1959 he founded the company Eltham Films with Patrick Ryan; his first short film won an award at Venice in 1960. After an art feature that was poorly received, in 1969, he turned to popular comedy and founded the company Hexagon with Roadshow, whose first film was the greatest Australian success of those years. He died on 19 April 2004 in Melbourne.
