In 2015 the sights and sounds of a Richard Thompson Electric Trio
tour were collected then assembled together in this kaleidoscopic film
experience.

"A film which is a kaleidoscopic look at a hard working and multi
faceted touring musician through cascading visual and sonic
experiences while on the road with him and his band in 2015.

"Plot Outline: A Winding Road focuses on the Richard Thompson Electric
Trio's point of view through a kaleidoscopic montage of images and
audio of experiences while touring. The music performed during
concerts blends with ambient sounds to offer a soundtrack over
metaphoric and literal images which form a collage of textural road
experience. The microcosmic ambiguity of the at first seemingly
disjointed images combine to form a macrocosmic world inviting the
audience to interact with the poetic daily life of performer Richard
Thompson. The film follows loosely the form of a day in performance;
beginning with load in and sound check then moving through backstage,
performance, encore and load out while repeatedly offering the
experience throughout the film to express the redundancy and
repetitiveness of this experience."

Also reports that "the film is in its first round of festival
submissions, as soon as it has engagements we will post where and when
it will be screening."

Or........ This is a film about a band on tour.

I did not get the "struth".
But Google is your friend: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=struth

I agree: the quote from the film blurb is a bit over the top.

But now a new question has arisen. Are you indeed a dinky-di Aussie?

Neither dinky-di nor otherwise. While widely used by Australians, the expression is also as British as fish and chips.

Arguably, more 'strewth' over here...Apparently it's Late 19th century: a contraction of "God's truth"

Strewth was one of the phrases so beloved of Barry McKenzie, the ocker creation of Barry Humphries... I'm sure I saw a pic of FC with Trevor and Barry McKenzie once... small world, ain't it?
