'Dancing to His Song is the first comprehensive review of the work of Rolf de Heer, Australia's acknowledged auteur, an individual filmmaker famed for never repeating himself. Examining each film individually, Jane Freebury searches for the sources of de Heer's inspiration and finds the secret of his success in an ethic of hard work, flexibility and self-reliance that meets challenges and obstacles with ingenuity and keeps a steady focus in his vision. His remarkable career as an independent filmmaker has much to teach young producers and directors.' (Publication summary)
