Film Club: Don't Call Me Girlie (G, 1hr06min, 1985)
From the birth of the cinema to WWII, Australia hidden movie heroines on screen and behind the scenes.
DON'T CALL ME GIRLIE is a history of women in Australian film from 1906 ('The Kelly Gang', our first feature) to 1941 when wartime rationing limited local feature production. Through a combination of archival footage and contemporary interviews with surviving film pioneers: women editors, directors, publicists, writers and performers the role of women as film makers in defined Australian identity and culture is revealed.
