		The doc tells the story of two celebrated photographers, Olegas Truchanas and Peter Dombrovskis, and their muse, Tasmania's rugged South-West.
		Bluff observations of the kind, "When you think about artists, they're meant to be temperamental" and another describing Dombrovskis as a "shy little bloke" don't add much to our understanding of them or their "art".
		There is no denying the evocative beauty of Truchanas and Dombrovskis' images and their contribution to wilderness protection in Tasmania.

		Millwood incorporates the memories of the friends and wives of Dombrovskis and Truchanas, combined with dramatic contemporary footage of the wilds of Tasmania's rivers, to produce a truly moving and visually stunning film.

		Scott Millwood was born in 1973, the year after Olegas died, but he has made a fascinating one-hour film about the two men and their work.
		The philosophy of Olegas and Peter was remarkably similar and effective - if people could see the beauty of Australia's wild places they would be moved to protect them and encouraged to understand the value of the natural world around them.

		Olegas' great library of photos was sadly destroyed by another Australian reality, bushfires.
		This time there was a ground swell of anti-dam sentiment and the bulldozers were literally stopped in their tracks and Australia's outlook and perception of the value of south-western Tasmania had irrevocably changed.
		Peter had picked up the baton where Olegas had left off and the world could see from the comfort of their armchairs that we had something that didn't require intervention from outside.

		He set about rebuilding and had amassed yet another collection of wonderful scenes when he tragically drowned in one of Australia's most famous rivers, the Franklin, when he was reaching down to pull his canoe out and he slipped and was carried away by the ferocious current.
		Truchanas had spent four years re-shooting Lake Pedder but, realising it was doomed and knowing the Franklin was next, wanted to record it for the next conservation battle.

		With its mystical, cloud-shrouded mountain cover, it was sometime before I realized that the words "Olegas Truchanas" across the front were the name of a man. Instead, I imagined that it was the name of this secret, Narnia land that existed in the abyss of the world........cont'd

		It has the biggest canvas–the Tasmanian wilderness–but one that is viewed from the perspective of 2 nature photographers, Olegas Truchanas and Peter Dombrovskis, so time after time we are made to stand in their shoes, share their views, literally see what they saw.
		The fact that the men were also close–like father and son, the film says–reinforces the parallels, creates a context that is both personal and political.
		There are more re-enactments in Wildness, this time a re-creation of the slideshows given by Olegas Truchanas to raise people’s awareness of the natural beauty on their doorstep that was in danger of being lost.

		On Tuesday afternoon, the world premiere of Wildness, Scott Millwood's intriguing documentary about the Tasmanian photographers Olegas Truchanas and Peter Dombrovskis, told the story of two inspiring Australian immigrants who not only had a profound effect on international photography but helped prevent the damming of the Franklin River.
		Their life stories contain episodes of war, divorce, fire and heroism, and are both capped with tragic deaths.
		All in all, Truchanas and Dombrovskis are so much more quintessentially Australian than Wally Norman.
