A much anticipated legend shoots at Docklands 

A trend is emerging for retelling Australian history on screen. Through our Emerging Filmmakers Program, we were delighted to encourage this trend by giving award-winning filmmaker, Matthew Holmes, the opportunity to shoot scenes for The Legend of Ben Hall here.

Making his writing and directorial debut, Holmes and his team shot this ambitious bushranger movie in Stage 4. According to Holmes, who researched the story of Ben Hall over many years, “No other Australian outlaw story is more engaging, enthralling and unbelievable than Ben Hall. Not even the Kelly saga compares with the epic legacy of crime committed by Ben Hall and his gang.”
