Actors Heather Mitchell and Jeffrey Walker discuss Proof

2016

Actors Heather Mitchell and Jeffrey Walker discuss Proof

2016

    Jeffrey Walker reflects on his role as eight-year-old Martin (Hugo Weaving plays the adult version) in the 1991 film Proof, and his relationship with actress Heather Mitchell, who played his mother.

    In May 2016 the NFSA asked the public to help us fund the restoration of Proof. Over the course of 45 days, we were able to raise $27,000, thanks to the generosity of 266 film lovers from across Australia and around the world. Whether they gave two or two thousand dollars, each one of their donations was crucial to help us reach our goal.

    Their contribution is not only financial; their support is a vote of confidence in the work of the NFSA, and proof that Australians care about the preservation of their film history.
