518    Originally produced by Ronin Films in 1953. 
520    Giorgio Mangiamele is one of the most under-estimated 
       figures in Australian cinema history. Soon after his 
       arrival in Australia in 1952 as a migrant from Italy, he 
       began making films at a time when feature film production 
       in Australia was almost non-existent. His films were 
       seldom seen in Australia, although one - CLAY (1965) - was
       applauded overseas as an official selection in the Cannes 
       Film Festival. They have been virtually unavailable since,
       until the appearance of this collection of some of his 
       major works.   Displaying almost Quixotic ambition, 
       Mangiamele's first venture into production was a feature 
       film, IL CONTRATTO (1953), which he began within a year of
       arriving in Australia. This drama about the isolation and 
       alienation of Italian migrants was never completed, but 
       what remains is a remarkably powerful portrait of a 
       neglected segment of Australian society. The following 
       three films in this collection also express the anguish of
       the migrant experience: the two radically different 
       versions of a short drama THE SPAG (c.1960-2), and a 
       robust comedy, NINETY NINE PER CENT (1963). All of these 
       films reveal Mangiamele's keen eye for visual poetry and 
       the strong humanism of his concern for his characters.   
       These qualities are amplified in his first completed 
       feature film, CLAY, which explores the alienation, not of 
       migrants, but of a man on the run from the police who is 
       taken in by an isolated community of artists. His emerging
       love affair with a young sculptor leads to tragedy. The 
       intensity of Mangiamele's breathtaking vision recalls the 
       work of Jean Cocteau and other French romantic poet/
       filmmakers, and signifies the appearance of a major art 
       cinema talent, imbued with European cinema culture, who 
       tragically never found an opportunity to find full 
       expression of his vision after this one extraordinary 
       feature.   This collection of newly re-mastered and 
       restored films is a treasure-trove for anyone interested 
       in Australian cinema and art movies. It's a rare treat to 
       be able to discover and explore the greatness of 
       Mangiamele's talent.
