Movie Description
The NFSA has published the Life in Australia series of short films, produced by the Commonwealth Film Unit (later known as Film Australia) between 1964 and 1966.
They were made for the Department of Immigration, to entice immigrants from Europe. There's no denying that these films were a marketing tool; Australia was the product, and as such, it was presented as an idyllic destination where everyone led prosperous, happy lives. The scripts for each film are almost identical, covering employment and industry, education, sport, health care, shopping, religion, night-life, and art. Australia had everything anyone could wish for!
The films show a 'typical' day in 12 locations around Australia. All the capital cities were included, except Darwin and Canberra. These two, however, had been the focus of other recent Film Australia productions.
