Anthology of Behind-the-Scenes Anecdotes from a Century of Aussie Cinema

An exclusive, thoroughly researched compilation of movie back-story anecdotes from a century of Australian movie-making. Film scholar, independent digital publisher and author Robert Cettl gained exclusive access to Australia's National Film & Sound Archive while on a SAR Fellowship: there, on his own time and initiative he augmented his previous research and consulted a vast collection of books and magazines on Australian filmmaking to compile the first anthology of Australian screen anecdotes. Entertaining, informative, enthralling and enlightening, Australian Film Tales uses the time-honoured backstage cinema storytelling mode of the anecdote to develop a comprehensive portrait of the development of Australian film from the silent era to the present day: a thorough companion to the world of home theatre, DVD and Blu-Ray in concise ebook form.
