From what I can gather this clip is theatre patrons arriving for the evening, being interviewed by the Herald Newsreel and being told that the footage they are appearing in was to be rushed through processing and then projected at interval later that same night. Probably a technically impressive novelty at the time.
Although this is an unknown year. Gladys Moncrieff being interviewed at 0:29 looks of a similar age to another clip from 1930 so guessing early/mid 1930s.")

If you are Australian you probably know why this is a significant piece of film.

During its life roughly the first minute has gone missing and it has been treated with a chemical which has caused some discolouration but it is still a powerful piece of film. I will be uploaded a 1:85 crop with colour correction. There is actually quite a bit still in there behind the red.
This was sent by a very kind viewer and I very much appreciate it. You can see their channel here:

An unfortunate example of the permanent and widespread damage a couple of drops of liquid can do to a roll of film. I believe this one was already like this when I got it.
Correct storage is important!
Not sure why comments keep getting turned off on this one, whether its the copyright strike or the fact the film contains children or something... I apologise, this is unfortunately outside of my control.
Im 99% sure the weird colour shifting in places is a result of the old computer power supply the scanner uses slowly dying. It sometimes causes the LED backlights to pulse. Its on the list...")

This will be a copyright hit for sure.
Not sure what poor print this came off, pretty trashed at the end.")

Not sure who made this one. The green looking leader is due to me burying the red channel to bring some colour back.")
