Out for the Count

Unquiet WorldFor any of you who may have seen Stephanie de Montalk at the City Gallery in Wellington at the beginning of this month, and who may have been intrigued by Unquiet World, her biography of her cousin Count Geoffrey Potocki de Montalk – have we got a film for you.

As part of the Main Trunk Lines Outreach Programme at the National Library, the NZ Film Archive has made available a documentary that was made in mid-eighties Wellington about the extraordinary Count. He was a ‘poet, pamphleteer, pagan, pretender to the Polish throne, and, arguably, New Zealand's greatest eccentric’.

It’s on Thursday 1 September in the Auditorium at 12.10pm, and it’s 50 minutes long. It was first screened on TV One in 1987 apparently. Directed by Ian Paul. Anyway – what damned civilised and entertaining lunches you Wellingtonians have. I think it's about time we organised something regular like this in Auckland.
