The Sound of One Hand Clapping is a 1998 Australian drama film directed by Richard Flanagan, based on the 1997 novel of the same name. It was entered into the 48th Berlin International Film Festival.[2] The film was shot in Hobart, Tasmania.[3]
At the ARIA Music Awards of 1998 the soundtrack was nominated for Best Original Soundtrack, Cast or Show Album.[4]
Richard Flanagan originally wrote the story as a screenplay but was unable to get it financed. He then adapted it into a novel. This attracted interest from financiers and Flanagan asked Rolf de Heer to direct; de Heer did not feel he was appropriate but said he would produce if Flanagan would do it.[5]
