Not The Last Picture Show. Film societies in Australia
Mié, 2010-07-21 01:44
"Not The Last Picture Show" is a ten minute documentary film about community run cinema and ciné clubs in rural Australia. It features interviews with volunteer groups from four small towns. The towns experience the same problems of isolation because of great distances from town to town and little opportunity for commercial cinema to be viable.
Rather than trying to run traditional American films, the communities have decided to run alternative art-house and short films with varying success. The documentary provides an insight into success stories and also some of the problems these groups face in accessing short Australian films.
