Cinema Papers #16 My 1978 Special Cannes edition
Description
Cinema Papers first appeared in this format in December 1973. In that year, only nine Australian feature films were released theatrically. While only a small number by American and European standards, it marked the resurgence of film production in Australia. In-1978, there are already 18 features scheduled for release and several more in production, not including many short features and tele-films. This dramatic increase in output has been paralleled by increased technical and creative standards which have gained the Australian cinema international recognition. This special issue has been published exclusively for the XXXIe Festival International du Film at Cannes and comprises articles, interviews and picture spreads which have appeared in domestic issues of Cinema Papers over the past year dealing with the films present at this festival. A special supplement consisting of a Who’s Who of the Australian film industry, and checklists of directors and feature films from 1970 has also been included. The Editors.
