'Movietone recalls news highlights of an eventful year ... 1963', reads the opening title of this newsreel which provides a wonderfully edited snapshot of key local and international events in 1963, and how they were viewed at the time.
They include the Profumo Affair in the UK, US President John F Kennedy's assassination, torrential rain in Sydney, a royal visit, Australian politics and notable sporting achievements.
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.
