Dall’Italia all’Australia (From Italy to Australia) is the cinematographic record of the voyage of the SS Regina d’Italia (Queen of Italy). In September 1924, this vessel brought 504 migrants from southern Europe to the South Seas. The passengers included some 130 Hellenes, mostly from Kythera, Castellorizo and Cyprus. The experience of viewing this silent piece of Australian Hellenic heritage is enhanced by music performed live by a four piece folkloric band. It was first screened in Milan in 1925, only to disappear into a vault for the next eight decades.

This screening will be the first time Dall’Italia all’Australia will be shown to an Australian Hellenic audience.
