ABC Australia - Highlights from Down Under

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has established itself as one of the most important voices in Australian television. Its films and series productions are characterized by their authenticity and social relevance. A hallmark of ABC productions is their consistent promotion of cultural diversity, which also makes them a mouthpiece for the indigenous population and its painful history (“The Secret River”, "Connection to Country"). Whether in the animated short crime series “The Twist” with its surprising twists and turns, about LGBTQ+ history in Australia in “Queerstralia”, about country music there (“Going Country”), or about family troubles in comedic form (“Fucking Adelaide”), our selection, which we present here in the original English with English subtitles, invites you to immerse yourself in the films and series landscape of an excitingly different continent. In other words, these ABC productions are more than entertainment—they are a mirror of Australian identity and its diversity.
