 In conjunction with the exhibition at Tate, the Arts Council of Great Britain produced a documentary about his life and work, "Edward Burra".All the footage of the interview with Burra conducted for this film was assembled into a documentary in 1981, "The Burra Interview", in which he avers that "Nothing matters" and praises Yorkshire because "it's nice and bare".After breaking his hip in 1974, his health declined sharply and he died in Hastings in 1976.
