Barry Jones in Search of Lost Time – A Film Story is a filmic reverie about an extraordinary Australian – politician, polymath, public intellectual – who became a household name by picking all the right boxes in the sixties and remains a one-out-of-the-box national living treasure as we approach the third decade of the 21st century. At 85, Australia’s most successful science minister and author of the acclaimed Sleepers, Wake – Technology and the Future of Work, Barry Jones is as contemporary, relevant and futuristic as ever. But in this film he uses the lens of film itself to focus on childhood, adolescence and early adulthood, training his camera eye on the shaping forces of his character and the key turning points of his life.
