Friday 29 February 2008: The National Filmography program at the National Film and Sound Archive recently took another step forward with the appointment of a program manager, Dr Jeannette Delamoir, who joined the staff of the NFSA’s Moving Image Branch on 25 February 2008.
The goal of the National Filmography is to list every film made in Australia since the beginning of production in 1896. Along with feature films, the Filmography will include documentaries, animated films, educational films and experimental production. The entries will be scholarly, authoritative and comprehensive, and will include production details, plot summary, and other information useful to researchers, educators and public users. As the successive volumes of the Filmography are completed, they will be published in hardcopy and will also be accessible online.
