'The Ballad of George Barrington' by the two artists Matthias Meyer and Alexander Rischer tells the story of this most remarkable character, a notorious pickpocket who moved in the aristocratic circles of late 18th century London and later was convicted to Australia. There, his second career, he became chief constable of Parramatta. The film is a search for stolen goods, for valuable and banal objects, for documents, people and their connections to each other and tells this with materials and artifacts from museums and collections from all over the world. What is so remarkable about George Barrington's whole career is his switching of sides, from pickpocket to chief constable, that coincided with the switch of hemispheres. And between these spheres he created his various literary works, for which he is still famous today - and none of which he wrote himself. Written by The Barrington Society See less
