While other countries around the world had established film industries and cinematic movements, it was not until the 1970’s that Australia and New Zealand were able to make a major break into the international film world. By providing government financial support for film projects, the country was able to boost not only the volume but quality of the films produced there resulting in films renowned not only for their artistic qualities, such as Walkabout (1971), but also their entertainment value, such as Mad Max (1979).
