Fraser Film Release and Photographic Company was an Australian film company formed in 1912 by two brothers, Archie and Colin Fraser. It operated as a film exchange, importing movies from overseas, and production house, making shorts, features and documentaries. Early financial support came from Giuseppe Borsalino, an Italian businessman who invested in Italian films and used Fraser Films as an Australia outlet for his company.〔Graham Shirley and Brian Adams, ''Australian Cinema: The First Eighty Years'', Currency Press 1989 p 34-35〕 Among the filmmakers who worked for them were Franklyn Barrett, Raymond Longford and Alfred Rolfe. Despite some early successes, the company suffered from pressure exerted by the "combine" of Australasian Films and decline of production from Europe due to World War I where Fraser brought many of their films. The company wound up in 1918.〔Andrew Pike and Ross Cooper, ''Australian Film 1900–1977: A Guide to Feature Film Production'', Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1998, p 39〕 ==Select credits== *''Whale Hunting in Jarvis Bay'' (1913) – documentary *''A Blue Gum Romance'' (1913) – feature *''The Life of a Jackeroo'' (1913) – feature *''The Silence of Dean Maitland'' (1914) – feature *''We'll Take her Children in amongst our own'' (1915) – short *''The Day'' (1914) – feature *''Ma Hogan's New Boarder'' (1915) – short *''The Sunny South or The Whirlwind of Fate'' (1915) – feature *''Murphy of Anzac'' (1916) – feature 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「Fraser Film Release and Photographic Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
