Paddington Lace(1971)

Paddington Lace is an Australian film that captures the bohemian spirit of Sydney's historic Paddington neighbourhood. The drama follows the lives of typical artistic residents in one of the city's oldest suburbs, which has evolved into a thriving creative hub comparable to Greenwich Village or Chelsea. Through striking visuals of period architecture and carefully crafted scenes, the film documents the mood and lifestyle of Paddington's colourful inhabitants. Scripted by Joan Long with music by Grahame Bond and Rory O'Donaghue, Paddington Lace stars Ross Thompson, Janne Wesley and Ron Blanchard. The film serves as both a portrait of a place and the people who shaped its artistic identity during a formative era in Sydney's cultural history.
