The Celluloid Heroes: A Celebration of 100 Years of Australian Cinema
This fascinating documentary series details the evolution of Australian cinema from the early silent era to the modern 'renaissance' in Oz film making when names like Peter Weir, Mel Gibson and Nicole Kidman became world cinema icons. From the early 20th century home-grown heroes like Chips Rafferty and Errol Flynn helped forge a genuine Aussie film image independent of Hollywood. Though the industry ground to a halt in the post-war years, it was spectacularly resurrected in the 70s through films like "Picnic at Hanging Rock", "My Brilliant Career" and "Gallipoli". Beautifully produced, extensively researched, and narrated by Bryan Brown, "The Celluloid Heroes" is an unparalleled showcase of Australian film history.
