b'In this episode I\\u2019m joined by Jane Castle - the daughter of trailblazing Australian filmmaker, Lilias Fraser. \\n\\nCastle\\u2019s new documentary, When the Camera Stopped Rolling, tells the epic tale of her mother\\u2019s extraordinary life, her fascinating career and their challenging relationship. \\n\\nLilias Fraser was the first Australian to study at the National Film School of France who honed her skills on nation-building industrial documentaries of the 1960s, and in 1970 she made one of Australia\\u2019s first land rights films, This is Their Land. \\n\\nWhen the Camera Stopped Rolling is a must-see documentary and Jane should be commended for such an honest and raw insight into her personal relationship with her mother. \\n\\nJane is a multi-award-winnning filmmaker and cinematographer. She\\u2019s shot films and documentaries and a tonne of music videos for artists like Prince, U2, Mary J Blige, Usher and INXS. \\n\\nJane\\u2019s directing work includes the award-winning short, Roadside Caf\\xe9 and the SBS documentary Sixty Thousand Barrels. When the Camera Stopped Rolling is Jane\\u2019s first feature documentary.\\n\\nJane is so open during this interview. We discuss everything from Jane\\u2019s childhood, being compared to her mother, her relationship with other members of her family and how they\\u2019ve responded to this film, and how the local film community reacted to her mother\\u2019s death.'
