Abstract
Australia’s first three Gallipoli movies were released in 1915-1916, the first two while the Anzacs were still fighting on the peninsula. This paper traces their origin and making, their reception and recent efforts to locate and identify surviving images. The meaning of the films and their representations is placed in the context of other photographic representations at the time.
