Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
Yes, I know that when I worked on films back in the 80s, a lot of them were made independently and had posters printed by the filmmakers even before they had distributors. Often they'd use a random printing company who did a good rate, and there was no sticking to the standard poster sizes. I worked on a few Paul Cox films and tried to get them to conform to a standard one sheet but I think they ended up being slightly different in size...oh well, I tried!theartofmovieposters said:There are a bunch of these, hmmm how do I say, odd daybills for this time period. I assume there was alot of this made and self distribution happening in the 80s?

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
A Going Down (1983) Australian rare daybill poster. It was shot and self -distributed on 16mm by the maker's Smart films Ltd. The were very limited numbers of screenings secured so little in the way of box office receipts were taken.

Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
My thoughts on the Australian daybill film poster allocation of blank space for screening details information.
Originally introduced on the top of Australian long daybills sized 15'' x 40'' in the early nineteenth century until 1941, when this size was replaced with a smaller 13'' x 30'' size that was now printed without a blank area included.
In the 1970s and 1980s on 16mm commercially released films only a blank space for screening details. was now included on the bottom of the posters.
More to follow shortly.

Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
The very small number of Filmways/Filmpac daybill film posters, and also a few others printed by some different 35mm distributors in the late 1970s,that were covered earlier with having blank sections on the bottom would have surely been intentionally designed and printed in this reduced image format for whatever reason.

Watched EPiC - Elvis Presley in Concert. If you thought Austin Butler made a good Elvis, make sure you see how good the real thing really is. It's typically flash and frantic in Baz style.

Top marks indeed Ves for being able to view these early films of Alfred Hitchcock.
I asked the following question on Google of ''Did Alfred Hitchcock have a fascination with model trains?''. Some relevant information published in reply from them follows.
Alfred Hitchcock did indeed have a profound, life-long fascination with trains, which he frequently incorporated into his filmmaking as crucial plot device ,setting of suspense . and, at times in the form of models.
Childhood interest; Hitchcock's fascination began in his youth, where he reportedly spent time studying time-tables, maps, and London train routes.
Use of Models/Miniatures; In the early talkie Number Seventeen (1932) Hitchcock famously used miniature model trains to create an ''ode to mechanical speed''.
