Utilitarian Filmmaking in Australia 1945 - 1980

该项目计划发现、记录、分析和汇编澳大利亚功利主义电影制作的持久档案。“功利主义”指的是客户赞助的、教学性质的和政府性质的电影制作，这些电影不存在于通常定义电影的传统影院背景之外。该项目聚焦于20世纪70年代末视频激增之前的第二次世界大战后20年，旨在突出媒体行业以前未被研究的方面。这是为了传递关于技能和题材的新知识，在传统学术假设几乎没有重大电影制作的时代，这些技能和主题支持着澳大利亚的电影制作、交流和教育。

The project plans to discover, document, analyse and compile a lasting archive of utilitarian filmmaking in Australia. 'Utilitarian' describes client-sponsored, instructional and governmental filmmaking existing outside the conventional theatrical contexts by which cinema is usually defined. Focused on the post-World War Two decades before the proliferation of video in the late 1970s, the project aims to highlight previously-unstudied aspects of the media industries. This is designed to deliver new knowledge of the skills and subject matter that sustained filmmaking, communication and education in Australia during a time when conventional scholarship assumes there was almost no significant filmmaking.
