This photographic display highlights just a few of the 3,000
Commonwealth documentaries and educational short films in the Film
Australia Collection, which recorded life as it was lived in Australia
during the 20th century. The NFSA is the proud custodian of the Film
Australia Collection, preserving and providing access to the nation's
documentary record – our collective memory. The works in this
photographic display are still frames taken during the production of
the films.
