Yer Old Faither(2020)
A letter to my father. An elegy for a man, a town and a dream.
Yer Old Faither Synopsis
Set in the industrial town of Whyalla, this is an intimate portrait of John Croall, a Glaswegian immigrant to Australia, and the father of long-time Adelaide Fringe director, Heather Croall. John Croall delivered three generations of babies and planted thousands of trees in the town. He was also a great letter writer, and this very personal documentary uses these letters as its point of departure. Heather Croall films with her father as a way of coping with his approaching death and reflecting on the close, and often very funny, relationship between a father and a daughter.
Yer Old Faither (2020) is a documentary film directed by Heather Croall, released on October 18, 2020 with a runtime of 1h 24m. It stars John Croall and Heather Croall.
