Shades of Homemade History in these wonderful films recently published on the NFSA website.
"In 2002 artist and filmmaker Philippe Mora donated a collection of 8mm home movies to the NFSA. Made between 1954 and 1960, they feature rare footage of the Melbourne art scene of the 1950s. Philippe remembered the presence of a home movie camera in his childhood and appears in the films as a boy.
Philippe was brought up surrounded by art and artists. His father Georges Mora (now deceased) was an art dealer and founder of Tolarno Galleries in Melbourne. His mother is Mirka Mora, a celebrated artist and personality who is still exhibiting her work at the age of 86. Mirka and Georges emigrated from Paris to Melbourne in 1951
