Publisher's Synopsis
From the world's first feature film in 1906 to the world's first feature documentary, shot between 1895 and 1901, Australia has always done great things in film. Not only did Australia give birth to film but also to some of the biggest stars of the 20th century - both in front of and behind the camera. Saskia Vanderbilt explores the actors, directors and movies that have made Australia a leading light in the cinema world.
