Landmark

Made by The Commonwealth Film Unit 1972. This short film was produced in 1972 from historic and contemporary footage of The Sydney Opera House including footage of its complex construction and the site's previous use as a tram depot.  It has a musical score but no narration and is our first offering to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the opening of the Sydney Opera House on 20th October 1973. This incredible building by architect Jørn Utzon has indeed become a landmark.
