FOOTBALL STORIES FROM COUNTRY VICTORIA

21 Films by Malcolm McKinnon

CFVlogo
     
 
Country Football. On the one hand, it’s just a game. On the other, it can be life or death…  The films in this collection mine a wealth of living memory, gathering impressions of how the game has changed and how it continues to evolve into the future, inextricably linked with the broader life of country communities. The twenty-one short films include stories of legendary events and long-time campaigners, of rivalries and reluctant marriages and of things lost and lamented. Collected from all corners of Victoria, these stories characterise both the history and the contemporary significance of country football.

Funding for these files was provided by Victoria's Community Support Fund through two Arts Victoria programs: the Community Liaison Officers and Professionals in Residence program, and Victorian Cultural Network program. They have been produced by the State Library of Victoria in collaboration with the WorkSafe Victorian Country Football League.
