Worn at the beach or on a bush walk, or simply as a style statement, this playful short film is a tribute to the fashion accessory, and sun-smart, sun glasses. Set to a boss nova soundtrack, this short work is a tribute to ‘shades’, showing people wearing sun glasses cut from home movies and short works in the ACMI Collection. Featured are some of fashion’s best styles of eye wear from the 1940s to the 1970s.
ACMI gratefully acknowledge the following donors and creators in the compilation of this work: Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office; Elenor Peach; Barry Parsons; The Gadsden Family and Neville Daley.
