Chips Rafferty stars as prospector Peter Lalor in this retelling of the legendary mining rebellion in Victoria in 1854.
In the early 1850s, the discovery of gold in Victoria drew thousands to places like Ballarat in search of fortune. Amidst strict licensing fees and terrible living conditions – and as the gap grows between the haves and the have nots –prospector Peter Lalor (Chips Rafferty) assumes the leadership of the Ballarat Reform League and leads a rebellion against the state government.
At the time of production, Eureka Stockade ranked among the most expensive films shot in Australia. This ‘Australian Western’ contributed to keeping the legend of the Eureka Stockade alive in the national memory.
Presented in partnership with National Film and Sound Archive of Australia.
Join us for a post-screening discussion with Prof Clare Wright OAM, award-winning historian, broadcaster and author of The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka. The discussion will be moderated by The Australian film critic Stephen Romei.
Presented on 35mm film prints from the NFSA collection.
