Ian Robert Parker [1928 - 1989]

The late Ian Robert Parker decided, after a lengthy career as a school teacher at two of Australia's top schools [Scotch College and Haileybury College] in his late 30s, to make cinema his life's work. He won a Melbourne Film Society Prize for his outstanding short film Quiet City (1967) - a cinematic study set to the music of Aaron Copland - and produced a number of excellent documentaries, most notably A School Called Scotch, a pilot version of The Girl On The Boulevard (1970) and the complete film The Girl On The Boulevard (1975) on 16mm.
