Hi, I study foreign affairs on the other side of the world and I must write essay about film history in Australia, mainly before World War First.
The topic looks like that:
[i]"In Australia, theatre and the performing arts are in their infancy- Austarlia as a settlement of the British Empire has had only a little over 200 years to develop a unique arts industry. As a result, popular entertainment is often imported from overseas by enterpreneurs who give little thought to the quality or suitability of the material for the local audience."
Discuss the above statement. You may agree or disagree with the statement and must refer to events from before the First World War. Your discussion may refer to any of the styles we discussed in class including colonial theatre, vaudeville, melodrama, variety, the so- called golden- age, early cinema or even Aboriginal performance.[/i]
I search the Internet but couldn't find any site about film history in that exact period, could you help me gathering any source of knowledge available on the internet that will help me writing it?
I would be very thankful!
