  Walkabout  Wake in Fright  
For many years, the only known print of "Wake in Fright", found in Dublin, was considered of insufficient quality for transfer to DVD or videotape for commercial release.
In response to this situation, "Wake in Fright"s editor, Anthony Buckley, began to search in 1994 for a better-preserved copy of the film in an uncut state.
Ten years later, in Pittsburgh, Buckley found the negatives of "Wake in Fright" in a shipping container labelled "For Destruction".
He rescued the material, which formed the basis for the film's painstaking 2009 restoration.
Another complete copy of "Wake in Fright", reputedly in good condition, exists in the collection of the Library of Congress, which has screened it in the library's Mary Pickford Theater.
"Wake in Fright" was released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc formats on 4 November 2009, based on a digital restoration completed earlier that year.
This restoration was shown to the general public for the first time at the Sydney Film Festival in June 2009, was subsequently given limited theatrical re-release in Australia and received wide and consistently positive coverage in the Australian media. 
Wake in Fright (also known as Outback) is a 1971 Australian-American thriller film directed by Ted Kotcheff and starring Gary Bond, Donald Pleasence and Chips Rafferty.
The screenplay was written by Evan Jones, based on Kenneth Cook's 1961 novel of the same name.
Made on a budget of , the film was an Australian/American co-production by NLT Productions and Group W. "Wake in Fright" tells the story of a young schoolteacher who descends into personal moral degradation after finding himself stranded in a brutal, menacing town in outback Australia.
For many years, "Wake in Fright" enjoyed a reputation as Australia's great "lost film" because of its unavailability on VHS or DVD, as well as its absence from television broadcasts.
In mid-2009, however, a thoroughly restored digital re-release was shown in Australian theatres to considerable acclaim.
Later that same year it was issued commercially on DVD and Blu-ray Disc.
"Wake in Fright" is now recognised as a seminal film of the Australian New Wave.
Australian musician and screenwriter Nick Cave called "Wake in Fright" "The best and most terrifying film about Australia in existence."
The world premiere of "Wake in Fright" (as "Outback") occurred at the 1971 Cannes Film Festival, held in May.
Ted Kotcheff was nominated for a Golden Palm Award.
The film opened commercially in France on 22 July 1971, Great Britain on 29 October 1971, Australia during the same month and the United States on 20 February 1972.
"Wake in Fright" received generally excellent reviews throughout the world and found a favourable public response in France (where it ran for five months) and in the United Kingdom.
However, despite receiving such critical support at Cannes and in Australia, "Wake in Fright" suffered poor domestic box-office returns.
Although there were complaints that the film's distributor, United Artists, had failed to promote the film successfully, it was also thought that the film was “perhaps too uncomfortably direct and uncompromising to draw large Australian audiences".
During an early Australian screening, one man stood up, pointed at the screen and protested "That's not us!
", to which Jack Thompson yelled back "Sit down, mate.
It is us.
"The un-restored version of "Wake in Fright" received a three stars (out of four) rating from the American film reviewer Leonard Maltin in his "2006 Movie Guide", while Brian McFarlane, writing in 1999 in "The Oxford Companion to Australian Film", said that it was “almost uniquely unsettling in the history of new Australian Cinema”.
Askmen.com echoed these sentiments, citing that "it's not hard to see why the dusty savagery and clown-faced surrealism of Ted Kotcheff's fourth feature was never shown on telly at the time.
"Following the film's restoration, "Wake in Fright" screened at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival on 15 May 2009 when it was selected as a Cannes Classic title by the head of the department, Martin Scorsese.
"Wake in Fright" is one of only two films ever to screen twice in the history of the festival.
Scorsese said, ""Wake in Fright" is a deeply -- and I mean deeply -- unsettling and disturbing movie.
I saw it when it premiered at Cannes in 1971, and it left me speechless.
Visually, dramatically, atmospherically and psychologically, it's beautifully calibrated and it gets under your skin one encounter at a time, right along with the protagonist played by Gary Bond.
I'm excited that "Wake in Fright" has been preserved and restored and that it is finally getting the exposure it deserves.
"Roger Ebert reviewed the re-release and said "It's not dated.
It is powerful, genuinely shocking and rather amazing.
It comes billed as a 'horror film' and contains a great deal of horror, but all of the horror is human and brutally realistic."
Don Groves of SBS gave the film four stars out of five, claiming that ""Wake in Fright" deserves to rank as an Australian classic as it packs enormous emotional force, was bravely and inventively directed, and features superb performances. "
Rex Reed, an early advocate of "Wake in Fright", praised the film's restoration as "the best movie news of the year", and said it "may be the greatest Australian film ever made".
Currently, the film has a rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 42 reviews.
A film version of "Wake in Fright", based on the 1961 novel by Kenneth Cook, was linked with the actor Dirk Bogarde and the director Joseph Losey as early as 1963.
Morris West later secured the film rights and tried, unsuccessfully, to raise funding for the film's production.
The rights were eventually bought by NLT and Group W. and Canadian director Ted Kotcheff was recruited to direct the film.
At the time of production, Kotcheff had directed two films, "Tiara Tahiti" (1962) and "Two Men Sharing" (1969).
After "Wake in Fright", Kotcheff would continue to have a successful career as a director.
His later films included "The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz" (1973), "Fun with Dick and Jane" (1977), "First Blood" (1982) and "Weekend at Bernie's" (1988).
The shooting of "Wake in Fright" began in Australia in January 1970 at Broken Hill, New South Wales (the area which had inspired Cook for the setting of his novel), with interiors shot the next month at Ajax Studios in the Sydney beach-side suburb of Bondi.
It was the last film to feature the veteran character actor Chips Rafferty, who died of a heart attack prior to "Wake in Fright"s release, and the first film with Jack Thompson, the future Australian cinema star, among its cast members.
Coincidentally, Rafferty (real name John William Pilbean Goffage) had been born in Broken Hill, the film's stand-in for "The Yabba", in 1909.
