The Austral Photoplay Company was a short lived Australian production and distribution company. It was established in Melbourne in 1913 by A.C. Tinsdale and later transferred to Sydney in 1917. It initially sought to raise ₤10,000 to make a film about the goldfields. It raised funds to make movies via public subscription; people would pay for the right to appear in the film. They later purchased the negatives of films made by the Australian Film Syndicate in 1911-12.〔Andrew Pike and Ross Cooper, ''Australian Film 1900–1977: A Guide to Feature Film Production'', Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1998, p 75〕 In 1917 Tinsdale shot footage for a feature in Ballarat called ''Women and Gold'' which was never completed.〔 The company was still trying to raise funds in 1919 and also later in 1920, under another name. ==Select Credits== *''The Life's Romance of Adam Lindsay Gordon'' (1916) - distribution only *''The Laugh on Dad'' (1918) *''Dad Becomes a Grandad'' (1918) - short *''Through Australian Wilds'' (1918) - documentary with Francis Birtles *''A Romance of Burke and Wills Expedition of 1860'' (1918) *''Scars of Love'' (1918) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Austral Photoplay Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
