serial		Federation news : journal of the Federation of Victorian Film Societies Carlton, Vic.: Federation of Victorian Film Societies, Call No: held v.1 no.1-v.24 no.102 Sept. 1955-Dec. 1979 incomplete CorpAuthor: Federation of Victorian Film Societies; Federation news (Carlton, Vic.) Source: AT Place: Carlton, Vic. Publisher: Federation of Victorian Film Societies PhysDes: v. : ill. ; 28 cm Subject: SOCIETIES, FILM. AUSTRALIA. VICTORIA; FEDERATION OF VICTORIAN FILM SOCIETIES Summary: Federation News was a quarterly publication produced by the Federation of Victorian Film Societies. The journal promoted participation in local film societies, publishing a ‘Film Society Diary’ of upcoming screenings and events. Each issue profiled a different society in a section titled ‘Know Your Film Society’, providing information on the their history, focus and of course - screenings. Federation News supported the activities of societies by providing information and reviews of available film prints, from sources including embassies and consulates, the State Film Centre and the National Library of Australia. The breadth of films profiled is almost encyclopedic, covering not just feature films but newsreels, actualities, tourism films, government films, and information films produced by businesses, such as Kodak and Qantas. From 1955 to 1973, the journal was edited by George Lugg, a chemist who worked as an ‘Experimental Officer’ for the Department of Defence from 1958 - 1973. Lugg was a man of mystery. In 1966, Robert Rothols, who later succeeded Lugg as Editor of Federation News, was asked to guest edit an issue as Lugg would be away. Rothols later wrote, “George just went. For pleasure? For work? I didn’t ask.” Soon after, Rothols was at a film screening and caught a newsreel about a simulated atomic bomb test in Queensland. “There, after the blast, were the research scientists examining the aftermath. And there in widescreen 70mm, was George, collecting specimens.” When Lugg resigned from Federation News in 1973 due to his ailing health, he had collected and curated an extensive film reference library. The Federation bought the collection from Lugg, and later established the George Lugg Library at the AFI, which ultimately became the AFI Research Collection. Federation News ceased publication in 1979, only six years after Lugg left. -- AFIRC Notes: Continued by: Filmviews; Description based on: Vol. 23, no. 4 (Dec. 1978); title from cover ISSN: 0046-3582 Frequency: Quarterly LON: cvx00402014; 2557807 7296531 More info

book		Go! Melbourne : Melbourne in the sixties Melbourne, Australia: Circa, 2005. Call No: 12(94) GOM Author: O'Hanlon, Seamus (ed.); Luckins, Tanja (ed.); Danks, Adrian Place: Melbourne, Australia Publisher: Circa PubDate: 2005 PhysDes: 21 cm ; 284 pp Subject: SOCIETIES, FILM. AUSTRALIA. VICTORIA Summary: What were the 1960s really like in Melbourne? Was it just great music, brightly coloured clothes and The Pill? Or was there something deeper and perhaps more insidious happening? This fab new book takes a close look at the many cultural changes of the Sixties and how they affected the Victorian capital - and questions modern-day views about the way times actually did 'a' change'. Go! Melbourne in the Sixties covers defining moments like the visit of The Beatles, the end of the six o'clock closing, political activism, Jean Shrimpton at Flemington, as well as increases in tertiary study opportunities, dramatic population growth through migration and a baby-boom, and sets them in the context of a decade that many continue to see as a golden era. [Taken from back cover] Of particular relevance here is Adrian Danks' chapter on the Melbourne University Film Society (MUFS) entitled "Arrested Developments or from 'The Heroes are Tired' to 'The Tomb of Ligeia': Some Notes on the Place of the Melbourne University Film Society in 1960s Film Culture" which traces the origins of the film society, its contribution to Melbourne cultural life, its output (not just in exhibition but production and publishing) and its legacy.
