Dimboola (film)

Dimboola is a 1979 Australian independent film directed by John Duigan about a country wedding reception. It is based on the 1969 play of the same name by Jack Hibberd and was principally filmed on location in Dimboola, Victoria.

The movie was shot in Dimboola, Jeparit and Melbourne. The budget was originally 420,000 but was reduced to 350,000. 120,000 came from the Victorian Film Corporation, 75,000 from the New South Wales Film Corporation, 80,000 from Greater Union, and the rest from private investment.John Duigan had written all his previous movies himself, and worked in a realist style whereas Hibberds writing was more theatrical. Hibberd had trouble collaborating and Duigan feels they had entirely different interpretations of the material which hurt the final movie. ........
