Join us for an exclusive preview screening of the upcoming Australian documentary, John Farnham: Finding The Voice, followed by a Q&A with director Poppy Stockell.

John Farnham: Finding the Voice tells the untold story of an Australian music icon. In this first authorised biopic, we follow Farnham’s life from the quiet suburbs of Melbourne to ‘60s pop fame, through incredible highs and lows, and ultimately to record-breaking success as ‘Australia’s Voice’.

John Farnham was 38 years old when Whispering Jack was released. Nobody ever questioned that Farnham could sing -- but the challenge to find his artistic voice and become Australia’s most trusted and beloved performer took half a lifetime. Whispering Jack is still the highest selling Australian album of all time, and this powerful documentary tracks the personal and public journey that has made Farnham Australia’s greatest and most beloved musical artist.

The film includes appearances from John Farnham, Olivia Newton-John, Jimmy Barnes, Celine Dion, Robbie Williams, Daryl Braithwaite, Richard Marx, Glenn Wheatley, Gaynor Wheatley, David Hirschfelder, James Farnham, Robert Farnham, Jill Farnham, Paul Dainty. The film is directed by Poppy Stockell and written by Stockell and Paul Clarke. Produced by Olivia Hoopmann, and Executive Produced by Mikael Borglund, Martin Fabinyi and Paul Clarke. The film is distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing and will be in cinemas from May 18.
