One Summer Again is a 1985 Australiandocudrama miniseries about the painterTom Roberts and theHeidelberg School art movement.[1] Set in and around the city ofMelbourne in the late 19th century, the film traces Roberts' career and his relationships with other members of the Heidelberg School, includingArthur Streeton,Charles Conder andFrederick McCubbin. Their artists' camps are recreated in authentic bush settings, which one critic described as having "the soft warmth of a McCubbin painting".[2] Film sets true to the period are contrasted with shots of contemporary Melbourne.
The title comes from a letter Conder sent to Roberts, longing for the time they spent painting together atHeidelberg: "Give me one summer again, with yourself and Streeton, the same long evenings, songs, dirty plates, and last pink skies. But these things don't happen, do they? And what's gone is over."[3]
