AFTRS 50th – Alumni Short Films

In 1973 when The Australian Film Television and Radio School was founded its inaugural Chair, Barry Jones, implored that the school must be “a revolutionary force” in Australian culture. To mark its 50th anniversary, AFTRS is celebrating its revolutionary spirit and legacy, on palpable display in this incredible program of short films from esteemed alumni.

This selection includes restored films from the class of ’73 – Gillian Armstrong, Phillip Noyce and Chris Noonan – alongside Ivan Sen, Jane Campion, Cate Shortland, Robert Connolly, Sue Brooks, and Catriona McKenzie’s remarkable first forays into filmmaking.
