Troy Cassar-Daley is celebrating his latest album with a documentary film, A Journey Between The Fires, which will receive six screenings starting this week.
The film finds the singer-songwriter returning to his childhood home on Gumbayngirr Country in northern New South Wales in September 2023 to record Between The Fires. Described as a “deeply personal and compelling story,” the 90-minute film follows Cassar-Daley’s journey through grief to create the most challenging and rewarding album of his career.
As he grieved the loss of his mother, the album and the film showcase the impact of that loss through never-before-seen footage of Cassar-Daley’s healing journey. The documentary captures not only sadness, though, but moments of joy, laughter, and camaraderie. It celebrates the unique power of music.
Since its release last year, Between The Fires won the 2024 ARIA Country Album of the Year award, while Cassar-Daley took home five CMAA Golden Guitar awards at this year’s ceremony. With 45 Golden Guitars to his name, Cassar-Daley has achieved the highest number of awards for any artist.
The screenings of the documentary will take place in six cinemas across New South Wales and Queensland, featuring a Q&A with filmmaker Michael Bryers.
The screenings begin at the Saraton Theatre in Grafton, NSW, on Wednesday, 30 April, followed by Sawtell Cinema on Thursday, 1 May, Nambucca Cinema on Friday, 2 May, Belgrave Cinema, Armidale, on Thursday, 8 May, Tamworth’s Forum 6 Cinemas on Friday, 9 May, and The Majestic Theatre in Pomona, Queensland, on Thursday, 15 May.

“Showing this documentary so close to where it was created is really significant to me, the journey of healing after losing loved ones is different for everyone that’s for sure but this short film was my journey of how music and the creation of music at a very special place (my childhood home),” Cassar-Daley revealed on social media.
He continued, “The album ended up being one of the most important records that I’ve made in my 30-year career and showing how personal a journey it was is very important for me to share with everyone.
“I’m proud of all involved in the making of it, and as a child of the Clarence Valley, I could not be more proud.”
