Tempo Australia In The Seventies

As Australia Day 2012 approaches we look back to an Australia of 40 years ago. A "futuristic" computer centre assumes the task of collecting information on Australia, and assembling a report. The audience sees and hears the report as it issues from the computer by means of audio-visual images of Australia in the seventies. The film was made to inform a sophisticated audience about what is happening in Australia now, and what is likely to happen in the next decade. Through the computer's TV monitor the viewer participates in a thorough dissection of Australia: the country , the people, the mood of the times in which we live.
Made by the Australian Commonwealth Film Unit 1971. Directed by Keith Gow.
