Sunday, Too Far Away
1975. Australia. Directed by Ken Hannam. Screenplay by John Dingwall. With Jack Thompson, Reg Lye. Beating out Picnic at Hanging Rock to win the Australian Film Institute's 1975 award for Best Film, and celebrated at the Cannes Film Festival, this film is one of the inaugural works of the Australian New Wave. Set within the ultra-masculine world of a sheep-shearing community in the 1950s, Hannam's film is steeped in the atmosphere of the Outback. Preserved by National Film and Sound Archive, Australia. 94 min.
