Today Live - Gaylene Preston on Titless Wonders

Television (Full Length) – 2001

I had to learn how to make films really quickly.
– Gaylene Preston recalls her first experience of filmmaking, for a British psychiatric hospital
It's a hard, heavy subject, but it's one that effects a lot of people.
– Gaylene Preston on breast cancer
...cancer thrives in secrecy, hence the film.
– Gaylene Preston on her documentary Titless Wonders
...cancer is a plague, you know, but there's no white crosses going up on the walls, on the doors; there's no carts trumbling down the road picking up the bodies ... cancer is a plague upon the land, but it's a secret one.
– Gaylene Preston on the sometimes overlooked severity of the disease
...she's a dancer, and actually it was from seeing Jan's dance, that's what made me make the film. Because Jan has choreographed a dance that tells her story through the whole journey.
