About Dickson Films

Peter Dickson's work has helped define high-end sports documentary storytelling in this country. For many years, his films have become known for their emotional honesty, intimate access, and lasting relevance — stories that resonate long after the final frame.

 

His work has received international recognition and numerous film awards, but more importantly, it has given his films longevity. They are as powerful now as when they were first released.

 

Peter began his filmmaking career alongside his late brother, Rob Dickson, a pioneer of modern sports documentary in Australia. Their collaboration shaped a generation of storytelling — stripped back, authentic, and driven by character rather than spectacle. Rob’s sudden death in a car accident in 2009 marked a profound turning point, both personally and creatively. The lessons learned during those formative years continue to underpin Peter’s work today.

 

That journey is documented in Peter’s book He Was My Brother, a deeply personal account of two brothers finding their voice behind the camera, and the legacy that endures beyond loss.

 

Through Dickson Films, Peter continues to create documentary work of substance and integrity, collaborating with world-class cinematographers, writers, and editors. Together, they produce films that don’t chase trends — they outlast them.

 

Original. Then and now.
