Present-day residents of Paradise will perhaps see their suburb as market garden from the aerial shot.

What's more, the films were made in 35mm which would bring out Hurley's cinematography. Why show in reduced quality of 16mm?

It should not be shown as a silent film like this, love it or otherwise. It was made as a sound film.
Where is the companion film that Hurley made about the outback SA??
