Libby Kosmala – Paralympic history by Don Worley
Title:
Libby Kosmala – Paralympic history by Don Worley
Adelaide Paralympic legend Libby Kosmala in action in the 1970s and 80s.
At 72, Rio 2016 was her 12th Paralympic appearance.
These are highlights from the collection of Paralympic films shot by Adelaide dentist and amateur filmmaker Don Worley.
The collection includes almost 10 hours of footage which helps chronicle the development of the Australian and international Paralympic movement from a time when such material is incredibly scarce.
This compilation includes footage from the following events:
— Arnhem 80 – Arnhem, Netherlands, 1980 (NFSA ID: 1461889)
— Toronto Olympiad for the Physically Disabled – Toronto, Canada, 1976 (NFSA ID 1461959)
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.
