96 pages including b/w illustrations. What do Raymond Longford"s Ginger Mick (1920), Franklyn Barrett"s Know Thy Child (1921) and the 1906 `blockbuster` The Story of the Kelly Gang have in common? They are among the lost treasures of Australia's silent cinema, films of which only a few fragments or sequences, in some cases only a title, remain. Of about 250 silent feature films made in Australia between 1906 and 1930, little more than fifty survive in whole or in part today. ln Australia°s Lost Films Ray Edmondson and Andrew Pike show just how important it is, from both the aesthetic and historical points of view, that as much as possible of this heritage be recovered. The task is an urgent one, as these films were made on highly flammable, perishable nitrate stock which is rapidly nearing the end of its lifespan. But although the films themselves are lost, in many cases production stills remain to indicate their quality. More than fifty of these important photographs, many of them originally on glass negatives. are reproduced in Australia's Lost Films. Australia's Lost Films has been published by the National Library of Australia to coincide with THE LAST FILM SEARCH, a project sponsored principally by Kodak and the Utah Foundation to find as many of these important films as possible and commit them to the care of the National Film Archive. But with its many photographs and a complete checklist of silent feature films 1890-1930, the book stands as an important record of a necessarily little known part of Australia's cinematic past. 12mo.
