Sensational Seventies
1979 · 108m · Documentary
"SENSATIONAL" - part of the Oxford Dictionary's explanation for the word suggests 'a stirring of the emotions of many people'. If the '70s didn't arouse and preserve the interest of people throughout our great country, then no decade has, for this chapter in the history of football was indeed sensational.

The Galahs
2016
In 1967 a group of Victorian AFL (VFL) stars jetted off to challenge the All-Ireland champions, County Meath, at their own game. The players were, and are, household names – Barassi, Skilton, Jesaulenko, Davis, Hart, Nicholls, Mann, Dugdale, Fraser. Most didn’t own passports. Most had barely been out of Victoria. Ex-umpire and media juggernaut Harry Beitzel was the man who made it happen. He mortgaged his house. He organised the opponent. He flew his team of champions on a milk run to Darwin, Hong Kong, Paris, Dublin, London, New York and beyond to plant the seed of international competition. The Galahs is a rare feature film that reconnects fans with all time greats of both VFL and GAA football.
