Enter the weird and wonderful world of Christmas window displays, which had an especially kitsch flavour in 1970. This silent home movie, shot by Robert Neville, travels across the strange vistas of a Myer department store in Melbourne.

Reflecting their newfound popularity, animatronic figures dominate the festive attractions, caught in a bustle of festive activity. Classic staples like elves, reindeer and Santa Claus sit alongside a retro-futurist wonderland of rocket ships and astronauts in sparkly leotards.

Straight out of a sci-fi epic, these glittering marvels are both ornate and kooky, reflecting the pulp obsessions of the era.
