Australia After Dark

Australia After Dark is a 1975 documentary directed by John D. Lamond. It was his first feature.

I borrowed a 16mm print of it and ran it on a closed circuit cinema thing and stopped and started the projector and looked at it. It ran on a sort of cycle pathos, humour, oddity, nudity. I thought okay, what I need to do is shoot about fifty sequences, cut it into something coherent and pacey, and made it on the same sort of thing. Id have something sexy, then something odd, then something really wayout, then something light hearted. And always do it tongue in cheek, and not have any sequence in the film run longer than about two minutes. And anything sexy, Ill make it wayout or pretty.Hexagon Productions invested some money in the movie but the Australian Film Development Corporation did not. Lamond later reshot some sequences after the initial shoot. ........
