When a film-making movement started in Carlton during the sixties, helped by sync cameras like the Eclair and the Arriflex, we looked to the French New Wave for our inspiration. In particular the films of Jean-Luc Godard and his idiosyncratic vision of the world seemed to set the style. In retrospect this was strange as his films were rarely screened and not particularly popular then, or now for that matter. Here then for the first time - an assembly of extracts from several Carlton films, together with some bits and pieces of Godard's early films for comparison, revealing much about a fascinating period of Melbourne film-making activity.
Also on this tape we examine the life and work of Giorgio Mangiamele, a tenacious film pioneer who came to Carlton from Rome in the early fifties and created numerous films in the neo-realist tradition
