History

Historical Context

In the 1970s, the Australian New Wave revitalized the film industry, producing acclaimed works like "Walkabout," which explored survival in the Outback. This era followed a decline in local production after World War I. Today, films like Netflix's "Apex" continue this legacy, reflecting ongoing themes of human resilience and the intricate relationship between people and nature in Australian storytelling.
