This is a collection of Australasian feature film data. I taught a unit called Australian Cinema at Murdoch University for ten years until I retired at the end of 2008. My approach to teaching—and writing the book which I used as my textbook, Ten Types of Australian Film—was through genre—films of different kinds. I'd like to think that this page, and the pages linked from it, might be useful to a researcher.
