The Screen Guide

In this 3-part series, presented by screen icon Jacki Weaver, we crack open a forgotten vault of Australian government films - now stored in the National Film and Sound Archive - that unearth a kaleidoscopic vision of Australia in the 1970s. Featuring an all-star cast of commentators including Ben Law, Jan Fran and Zoe Coombs Marr, and behind-the-scenes insights from the people who made and featured in these revealing films like Phil Noyce, Dr Gary Foley and Jacki herself, the series offers a fun, insightful, and nostalgic exploration of a decade of political and social change when the idea of Australia was completely reimagined and the modern nation we know today came kicking and screaming into existence.
