ABSTRACT A film history project on the Australian trade union movement commissioned in the late 1980s for Australia’s bicentennial year, 1988, came to grief over differing views of the labour movement’s past and contention around the rights and ethics of the filmmaker when a work is commissioned or sponsored. In the political context of the late 1980s there had been a decade of collaboration between trade unions and artists, but in this case filmmaker Tom Zubrycki was caught in a web of intrigue and complex agendas as he sought to complete this sponsored film. Zubrycki challenged the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) for the right to finish and distribute Amongst Equals, but without success. The struggle to resolve the Amongst Equals dispute continued for years and flared into a heated public debate. This case study illustrates dilemmas facing the artist, historian or filmmaker making sponsored work. A feature-length version of the unfinished film, not seen since 1991with inter-titles identifying scenes that the ACTU wanted revised or deleted was screened by Melbourne Cinematheque in October 2018, marking 30 years since the Australian bicentennial.

Zubrycki的观点：在平等运动中，澳大利亚劳工运动中的功利电影

摘要关于澳大利亚工会运动的电影历史项目，是在1980年代末期为1988年澳大利亚的两百周年纪念而成立的，当时人们对工人运动的过去的不同看法以及电影制作人被委托或监制时对电影制片人的权利和道德的争执感到悲伤。赞助。在1980年代后期的政治背景下，工会与艺术家之间进行了十年的合作，但在这种情况下，电影制片人汤姆·祖布赖基（Tom Zubrycki）在试图完成这部赞助电影的过程中陷入了复杂而复杂的议程。Zubrycki向澳大利亚工会理事会（ACTU）挑战了完成并在“平等者”中分配的权利，但没有成功。解决平等纠纷的斗争持续了多年，并引发了激烈的公开辩论。本案例研究说明了制作赞助作品的艺术家，历史学家或电影制片人所面临的困境。这部未完成的电影的长篇小说版本自1991年以来从未出现过，其字幕间标识了ACTU想要修改或删除的场景，并于2018年10月由墨尔本电影院放映，这标志着自澳大利亚两百周年纪念以来的30年。
