This is a select list of features, TV drama and documentaries in pre-production, production or postproduction in Australia.

will not be able to provide production office contact details before then.

This is the story of Australia’s longest war, told through the experiences of those who
fought it. From the Special Forces operatives who landed only weeks after 9/11, to drone
pilots who fought a new kind of war via remote control, to the engineers who built schools
with an eye out for snipers. From prime ministers and generals to private soldiers, the
series' characters reveal themselves before, during and after their war. Some are badly
damaged. Others just did their jobs. All have been transformed by their experience. They
reveal why Australia went to war and how our objectives and strategies changed over 13
years.

In the First World War more than 80% of Australians killed lost their lives on the main
battlefield, facing the main force of the main enemy. That battlefield was the Western
Front where the Australians and New Zealanders were constantly engaged from early in
1916 until the Armistice, late in 1918. This series tells the stories of the ANZACs on the
Western Front, from their first engagement in a small trench raid until their final triumph
as an instrumental part of the “100 Day” advance that led to victory. Through graphics,
archive, oral history and their travels across the battlefields today Neil Pigot and eminent
military historian Dr. Peter Pedersen explain where, how and why the ANZACs fought in
France and Belgium almost 100 years ago.

Stereotypes are smashed. Lives are changed. It’s a small step down a very long road to

When Meadmore died in 2005, he left behind a body of sculpture installed across the US
and in Japan, with only a few, yet significant public pieces in Australia. Yet despite this
international recognition, Australia is shamefully slow to embrace his work. This
documentary will seek to reclaim and reinstate Meadmore as one of this country's most
significant sculptors.

alcohol problems, heart attacks and sporting injuries, but there are also a few more
distinctive complaints like deadly snake bites, sick tourists who don’t speak English,
miners tumbling down deep shafts, high speed car rollovers, semi-trailer accidents,
livestock attacking farmers and kangaroos through windscreens.

tumultuous sixties segue into the seventies, a new decade full of promise and rapid
social change. Joan Millar, now a qualified obstetrician and the young mothers we have
come to love are back in the heart of Kings Cross. We’ll continue with them as they fight
for their rights, for self-empowerment and for each other in a world changing, but still
structured to deny them.

8MMM Aboriginal Radio in Alice Springs runs on the smell of an oily rag, the enthusiasm
of its motley Indigenous crew and the misguided intentions of the whitefellas in charge.
For the 3M's of Alice Springs - the missionaries, mercenaries and misfits - saving
Aboriginal people from themselves is hard work. Especially Aboriginal people who expect
to be heard on the radio and in the office. Princess Pictures and Brindle Films bravely
step into the vortex of Aboriginal Australia, where truth and comedy collide.
