	Australian Film Institute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Australian Film Institute (AFI), established in 1958, is an organisation that promotes Australian film and television through the annual AFI Awards, a membership program and AFI film events throughout the year.
		The Australian Film Institute was founded in 1958 as a non-profit organisation devoted to developing an active film culture in Australia and fostering engagement between the general public and the film industry.
		As a producer of arguably the industry's most marked calendar date, the AFI plays a central role in the way in which the Australian film industry is known and understood, both locally and internationally, and is widely accepted as important to the definition and overall brand of Australian media.

		What they had envisaged was a massacre at the end of the film where the Aboriginal people were conveniently done away with, and it was meant to be an appalling scene of tragedy and the terrible kind of consequences of this expansion.
