Collected together for the first time are the early, seminal short films of internationally acclaimed Director Peter Weir (Picnic at Hanging Rock, Gallipoli, The Truman Show, Master and Commander).

This DVD provides a rare opportunity to witness Weir's formative work, along with the themes and style that would ultimately propel him into the international spotlight and establish his reputation as one the most thoughtful and talented directors currently working in Hollywood.

Personally selected by Weir, this compilation includes:

Three to Go (1969)
Weir's astonishingly stylish debut opens with Sydney under seige from young revolutionaries. Can "Youth Quake", an upright TV panel discussion, end this violent street battle by tackling some very perplexing problems concerning the youth of today? Resist - Revolt - Reform!

Homesdale
Welcome to Homesdale Hunting lodge - "A New Experiment in Togetherness". The retreat is home to a mixed party of eccentric guests (including Kate Fitzpatrick and Grahame Bond) who are encouraged to act out their fantasies - watched on by men in white coats. Is Homesdale a guest house, a mental insitution or a prison?

Three Directions In Pop Music
In this time capsule of the early 70s live music scene, Weir documents performances by legendary Aussie jug-band THE CAPTAIN MATCHBOX WHOOPE BAND along with WENDY SADDINGTON & TEARDROP and Spectrum's alter ego, INDELIBLE MURTCEPS.

Incredible Floridas
Packed with stylish and atmospheric re-anactments, this short documentary chronicles Richard Meale's homage to acclaimed French poet, Arthur Rimbaud.
