| Summary |
A CINEMATIC LIFE: Revered critic David Stratton tells the glorious story of Australian cinema, focusing in on the films that capture the nation's true nature with such candour, emotion and humour that they still knock us for a six. David is superbly qualified for this task. While he adapted to a new country and turned his passion for cinema into a profession as a film festival director and film critic, a growing band of courageous Australians turned their enthusiasm for storytelling into an extraordinary body of work. This is their story, and his. |
| STORIES OF AUSTRALIAN CINEMA: In this landmark television series, David Stratton selects even more films that influenced the country and his own life. The three episodes focus on Gamechangers, Outsiders and Family. The series allows a more in depth look at the films that changed the way the world saw us and how we saw ourselves. This is a series that will make everybody realise just how much they love Australian films and provoke a desire to revisit many forgotten favourites. |
