Since the Branch’s Exhibition and Live streamed discussion about Harrison (Design Week 2021) has been shown on this web site, enquiries have lead to Branch input to the ABC Landline Program A Very Cool Idea (see below) and in March this year to the filming of another documentary segment, this time by French ARTE TV. It will be screened this year in France and Germany, and relayed by satellite to 47 other countries.
