New Guinea Patrol

New Guinea Patrol

Peter Dimond, Australia, 43 mins, 1958, Digital Betcam

New Guinea Patrol captures the experiences of Government patrol officer Jim Sinclair and his team as they set off into inhospitable mountains to chart the unknown vastness of New Guinea.

The film, which had a wide release in the UK during the 1960s, captures the moment of first contact with whites and many astounding changes of scenery.

Whatever Happened to Green Valley?

Peter Weir, Australia, 55 mins, 1974, Digital Betacam

Green Valley was the name of a housing commission estate in western Sydney, much maligned by the media of the day.

The residents used this film to reflect a different image of their lives; a must for all politicians, demographers, educators, students and social scientists, among others.
