In 1995, the Australian film magazine "Cinema Papers" polled over 6,000 members of the Australian film community to determine the "100 key films" of the Australian cinema. Those polled included "accredited members of the Australian Film Institute; industry guilds and unions; film critics and reviewers; academics and media teachers; and the NFSA's Kookaburra Card members.
"'Key' films were designated as those that have made a notable aesthetic, technical or historically important contribution to Australian cinema. Similarly, the criteria for 'Australia-ness' was defined broadly rather than narrowly."
The list excludes any films "made specifically for television or non-film formats."
