Oceania is the most isolated continent in the world. Its geographical barrier made it the last to be discovered by Europeans. Due to this late discovery, the region became known as the “new world”.
Formed by more than ten thousand islands, which are part of 14 countries, the continent owns the most spectacular landscapes in the world. Located in an area of boundary between tectonic plates, Oceania has a very high seismic and volcanic activity – most of its islands are of volcanic formation, which contributed to the creation of such privileged scenarios.
Australia – Oceania’s most developed country along with New Zealand – is home to the continent’s largest and best-known cities, such as Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef in the world, is located along the northeast coast of the country. Local fauna is also a tourist attraction, which due to the geographical isolation is exclusive to the region. The kangaroo and the platypus are examples of the rare specimens found there.
If the preference of the tourist who wishes to travel to Oceania is for programs full of adrenaline, the best option is the tours offered by “neighboring” New Zealand. The country owns rivers, valleys, waterfalls and mountains that make the scene literally cinematic. Queenstown, one of the main cities in the country, is the world capital of extreme sports and offers rafting, snowboarding, canoeing, parachuting, bungee jumping, mountain biking, etc.
The set of islands scattered across the Pacific Oceania, in turn, is divided into three: Micronesia (small islands), Melanesia (black islands) and Polynesia (many islands). The latter concentrates most of the islands in Oceania.
The part corresponding to French Polynesia is also a mandatory stop for those wishing to travel to Oceania. They say there is no more romantic place in the world. There are 118 islands spread over 2.5 million square kilometers, of which only 4,000 are land. The turquoise sea of the region is considered one of the best for diving. This is also where Bora-Bora is located, considered by many to be the most beautiful island in the world.
There are also eleven archipelago-states on the continent with small areas, of which the Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Solomon Islands, Kiribati, Nauru, Palau, Samoa, Tonga and Tuvalu stand out. There are also the Republic of Vanuatu and the Fiji Islands, destinations that are much sought after by tourists for their lush landscapes, with beautiful beaches, typical of tropical paradises.

Australian Film
Australian film production got an early start. As early as 1896, the first documentary was made, which began Australia’s strong documentary film tradition. Charles Tait’s “The Story of the Kelly Gang” from 1906 counts with its 65 minutes as one of the first feature films in film history.
After a pioneering business in the early 1900s, the Australian feature film was silent for a long time. During the 1920s, and especially after the introduction of the feature film, the market was taken over by Hollywood products. High-quality documentaries dominated the 1930s and 1940s. The feature films created by Charles Chauvel, the country’s then leading director, rarely reached outside the home market. International co-productions, where the Australian effort was often limited to the technical side, characterized the 1950s and 1960s.
With the federal government setting up the Australian Film Development Corporation in 1970 (1975 reorganized into the Australian Film Commission) and a new generation of filmmakers seeking a national film identity, however, came a turn. Highly artistic films were created by directors such as Peter Weir (“Excursion into the Unknown”, 1975; “Gallipoli”, 1981), Ken Hannam (“Sunday Too Far Away”, 1975), Donald Crombie (“Caddie”, 1976), Fred Schepisi (“The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith”, 1978), Bruce Beresford (“Knowledge is Gold”, 1977; “The Field of Honor”, 1980), Phillip Noyce (“Newsfront”, 1978) and Gillian Armstrong (“My brilliant career”, 1979). The films in this “new Australian wave” are characterized by proximity to magnificent landscapes and exploration of the Australian State Confederation’s short history; the relationship with the urinals was an important theme. Traditional Australian values such as camaraderie and democracy, often associated with pioneering spirit and an anti-authoritarian stance, were keenly emphasized. In the years 1970-80, more than 150 feature films were produced, and in the 1980s the production rate increased further, influenced by tax relief for producers and investors (in 1980-83, 81 feature films were made).
However, as early as the early 1980s, several directors were recruited to the United States, while production at the middle of the decade again began to be dominated by films aimed at entertainment for an international audience, eg. the films about Mad Max (1979, 1981 and 1985), directed by George Miller and with Mel Gibson in the title role, and Crocodile Dundee (1986, 1988 and 2001), directed by TV comedian Paul Hogan.
After draining a series of film talents to Hollywood, the Australian film industry re-emerged in crisis, but since the 1990s, several young directors have emerged and enjoyed international success, including. Baz Luhrmann (“Strictly Ballroom – The Forbidden Steps”, 1992, “Moulin Rouge”, 2001, “Australia”, 2008), Geoffrey Wright (“Romper Stomper”, 1992), Stephan Elliott (“Priscilla – Queen of the Desert”, 1994), PJ Hogan (“Muriel’s Wedding”, 1994, “Peter Pan”, 2003), Peter Duncan (“Children of the Revolution”, 1996), Alex Proyas (“Dark City”, 1998, “I, Robot”, 2004), John Hillcoat (“The Proposition”, 2005, “The Road”, 2009) and Warwick Thornton (“Sweet Country”, 2017).
From films of directors of the older generation are Richard Franklin’s “Hotel Sorrento” (1995), Scott Hicks “Shine” (1996), Phillip Noyce’s “Rabbit-Proof Fence” (2002), Peter Weir’s “Master and Commander – Beyond the End of the World ”(2003) and“ The way Back ”(2010) and Bruce Beresford’s“ Mao’s Last Dancer ”(2009).
A large number of Australian actors have made international careers with varying degrees of success; among the most fortunate men besides the aforementioned Mel Gibson include Bryan Brown, Russell Crowe, Geoffrey Rush, Hugh Jackman, Guy Pearce and Heath Ledger and among the women Nicole Kidman, Judy Davis, Naomi Watts and Cate Blanchett.
