Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
Australian Memories in Black and White is a collection of stills taken from the Cinesound and Moviestone newsreels, which played in Australian cinemas from 1931 to 1975. This landmark publication captures the most powerful, uplifting and even humorous moments from Australian life during this period. Accompanied by informative captions and original voice-over scripts as well as reminiscences of the film-makers themselves, this historic book chronicles the effect of social and political events on the Australian psyche over four decades. The images capture the various moods of these years — joy and pleasure juxtaposed with sorrow and despair. As you browse through this book, you will be able to relish the opportunity to go back in time and discover those facets of the past that now inform our present.
