Roger Swainston: Drawn to Water is a documentary journey that follows marine artist Roger Swainston as he embarks on the fifteenth year of a twenty-year project, studying the life of the Ningaloo Reef and its inhabitants through art.
 
The remote WA town of Coral Bay is home to Roger for six weeks every year as he painstakingly produces incredibly detailed underwater drawings that tell an international story through their captivating beauty.
 
Roger has probably spent more time beneath the water studying this area than anyone else and feels that he is beginning to understand the world beneath. He speaks of the surprising resilience of Ningaloo, its own unique seasons, and the beauty that surrounds him once he becomes ‘part of the reef’.
 
After the screening, there will be an artist Q&A with Roger to discuss his work and the insights he has gained throughout his time beneath the waves.
