ACTION! Film and War
Since the earliest days of film, the moving image has been used to document, promote, report on, and recreate events from our military history. Film has shaped our understanding of the Australian experience of war. ACTION! Film & War follows Australians armed with cameras who have shared their experiences as they record history and bear witness to conflict - either as a professional duty or for their personal record. This exhibition is also the story of movies themselves - the comfort they can provide to those serving far from home and the way they can take our war stories, re-frame them and share them with new audiences. Drawing chiefly on the collection of the Australian War Memorial, these are stories of Australia, war and the power of the moving image.
