Grace looks back into cinema history
Published on 20 November, 2006
PhD researcher Grace Johansen gave some insight into the history of cinema in Central Queensland at last week’s Visual New Media Research Group meeting.
Grace spoke about the impact of newsreels and documentaries during World War Two on the audiences of Birch Carroll and Coyle\'s Wintergarden Theatres in regional Queensland.
She also shared her thoughts on the film industry\'s support of Australia\'s war effort.
The mission of the Visual and New Media Research and Development Group is to conduct research and development into visual and new media forms.
The group is inclusive of, and promotes, a broad range of visual and new media forms and values diverse and hybrid approaches, perspectives and practices within visual and new media research and development.
