Australia

Australian cinema had a silent-era start, a long fade, and a revival in the 1970s with the 'Australian New Wave', when government support helped directors like Peter Weir, Gillian Armstrong and George Miller. Landscape, isolation and national identity run through the films, and Baz Luhrmann's flamboyant style has become a trademark of the country's global reach.
