Cinema Pioneers Association Print Email

 

The Society of Australian Cinema Pioneers was founded by Stanley N. Wright on November 29, 1933 to recognise the achievements of industry practitioners who have given 20 years of continuous services to the Motion Picture Industry across the Exhibition, Distribution and Film Production Sectors. It provides members with a means to stay in touch with industry colleagues, and through the course of each year the National Committee reviews additional ways the Society can benefit the Industry.

It also includes the exploits of the many travelling showmen and women in the South-West of Western Australia from the silent movie era and beyond while exposing the mystery of what went on behind those small square holes in the back wall of the local tents, town halls and cinemas throughout Australia.
