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

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.

Summary: This modest A5 brochure lists films playing at HFS with short synopses and extracts from reviews. The AFI RC has issues of the newsletter going back to 1963 - by which time it was already up to Volume 14! Founded in 1946, Hobart Film Society is the oldest surviving film society in Australia. Over the years it has screened films across a range of genres: comedy, drama, horror, thriller, western, musical, sci-fi, documentary and others that would not otherwise have screened in the state. There has been an emphasis on classic cinema and Australian and New Zealand films in particular. HFS member numbers have varied over the years for a range of reasons. Starting with 30-40 members and with membership peaking at 1,774 in 1983. In 2021, there were 143 members. The HFS spent its early days in the Hydro-Electric Commission Theatrette and State Cinema. Many other venues have also been used but now members enjoy weekly screenings (late January to early December), with screenings on Mondays at 7.30pm at the Nell Pascoe Room, Criterion House, Mathers Place, Hobart. -- AFIRC

Summary: Inventing Film Studies offers original and provocative insights into the institutional and intellectual foundations of cinema studies. Many scholars have linked the origins of the discipline to late-1960s developments in the academy such as structuralist theory and student protest. Yet this collection reveals the broader material and institutional forces—both inside and outside of the university—that have long shaped the field. Beginning with the first investigations of cinema in the early twentieth century, this volume provides detailed examinations of the varied social, political, and intellectual milieus in which knowledge of cinema has been generated. The contributors explain how multiple instantiations of film study have had a tremendous influence on the methodologies, curricula, modes of publication, and professional organizations that now constitute the university-based discipline. Extending the historical insights into the present, contributors also consider the directions film study might take in changing technological and cultural environments. -- Publisher description
