Leonard Cohen on TV in Australia?
Leonard Cohen on TV in Australia?
"Heads up" for Australian members.
ABC program(me) promotion:
Presented with humour and verve, Australian Encounters celebrates ten historic encounters, each between a renowned Australian and an international mover and shaker.
Series 1 | Episode 7 - ABC1Tuesday, 8 Oct 6:55pm
Documentary/Factual 3 mins CC
George Johnston and Leonard Cohen 1960
In the backroom bar of the Katsikas brothers' grocery store, amid tins of olive oil and sacks of flour, a young unknown Canadian poet met an Australian expatriate named George Johnston.
My understanding is that this is an animated documentary.
Might be worth a look.

Thanks Alan, I would have missed it.
Shame it seems to be only 3 to 5 minutes long!

I wonder what category (heroes, villains or ratbags) Leonard and George are depicted as
Interesting cartoon....that must be Leonard in the background with his guitar

Re: Leonard Cohen on TV in Australia?
The first six episodes seem to be available online. The sixth is from August. Leonard Cohen is the seventh. I wonder when it will be up?
Re: Leonard Cohen on TV in Australia?
Seems like it's based on this article and cartoon by Shane Maloney (script consultant) and Chris Grosz (illustrator).

This morning's "Advertiser", our Adelaide newspaper, highlights this program(me) as one to watch.
It also indicates that the narrator is Geoffrey Rush.

Re: Leonard Cohen on TV in Australia?
Thanks, I really enjoyed that Alan - it has an enjoyable light hearted, perhaps mischievous, quality about it.
I also enjoyed the animation drawings and it was nice to have Geoffrey Rush involved too!
Cheers,
Andrew

Re: Leonard Cohen on TV in Australia?
That's got some very fun animation. Anybody know what the Greek signage means?
Re: Leonard Cohen on TV in Australia?
I'll ask my Greek friend.
Might take a day or two to get a reply.
