One of Australia’s most highly acclaimed cinematographers, Russell’s film credits include Picnic at Hanging Rock (Peter Weir, Australia, 1975), Gallipoli (Peter Weir, Australia, 1981), Tender Mercies (Bruce Beresford, US, 1983) and White Men Can’t Jump (Ron Shelton, US, 1992).
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
