Eternity (1994)

Award-winning documentary from Lawrence Johnston on Arthur Stace, who famously chalked the word 'Eternity' on Sydney's streets.

"Stace had a hard life, growing up in inner-city poverty, working as a stretcher bearer in World War I, returning to Sydney a chronic alcoholic. In 1930, however, he embraced Christianity, sobered up, and started his life's work - going out each night to write his anonymous message on Sydney's pavements. Today, his message is a Sydney icon, referenced by artists like Martin Sharp, and emblazoned across Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of the 2000 New Year's Eve celebrations." (Sydney Film Festival)
