NFSA's Kodak/Atlab Cinema Collection: 'Backroads'

Few Australian titles are as deserving of rediscovery as Phillip Noyce's Backroads, an angry film about matters central to our culture – particularly race and racism. Nicholas Godfrey's insightful essay offers a detailed account of the making of the film, as well as providing a thoughtful analysis of the film as text and a sense of how it was received at home and abroad.
