Silent outtakes from Picnic At Hanging Rock part 2

Silent outtakes and unused material taken during the filming of Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975, directed by Peter Weir).

The clip includes: Miranda (Anne Lambert), Edith (Christine Schuler), Marion (Jane Vallis) and Irma (Karen Robson) pausing while exploring Hanging Rock; two takes of the four schoolgirls circling a boulder; Irma sitting in an alcove as the other girls pass by; and two takes of Michael (Dominic Guard) gazing at Appleyard College, watched by Albert (John Jarratt) and Colonel and Mrs Fitzhubert (Peter Collingwood and Olga Dickie).

Excerpts are taken from reels of 35mm silent colour outtakes, trims of scenes and additional unused material acquired from Martin Sharp, who was credited on the film as 'Artistic Advisor to the Director’.
