Moving Out

Moving Out is a 1983 film about a young Italo-Australian adolescent in Melbourne directed by Michael Pattinson. Pattinson met Jan Sardi, who was a school teacher wanting to move into writing. They discussed making the movie as a 50-minute film and it evolved into a feature. Most of the money was raised privately except for $50,000 from the Australian Film Commission. The movie was shot over six weeks in various schools in inner Melbourne. It was shot on 16 mm and blown up to 35mm.
