Silent footage shot for Capital Television captures scenes of 1970s Canberra at night, including a host of landmarks such as the Canberra Theatre, Lakeside Hotel, Anzac Parade with Old Parliament House in the distance, and the Australian War Memorial.
The high contrast of the black-and-white film footage builds into a ghostly, abstract tableau of night-time in the capital city, particularly in the extended scenes of cars streaming down the highways and the blinking city lights visible in the brief shot of the cityscape from Mount Majura.
