APPENDIX VII.
Legislation relative to the production, renting and exhibiting of cinematograph films in parts of the British Empire outside the United Kingdom and in foreign countries.
British Empire.
(a) Australia — New South Wales and Victoria. — In New South Wales the Cinematograph Films (Australian Quota) Act, 1935, received the Governor's assent on the 11th April, 193.5. In Victoria an Act having the same title received assent on the 2nd December, 1935. In the main the two Acts are in identical terms.

(c) (where the film is produced by a company) which has been produced by a company incorporated in Australia.
British films are films which are deemed to be British films under the Imperial Cinematograph Films Act, 1927, and foreign films are all films which are neither British nor Australian.
Nine classes of films are excepted from the Acts. The first six classes are identical in terms with those enumerated in Section 27 (1) of the Cinematograph Films Act, 1927. In addition the Acts do not apply to: —
(1) films not exceeding 5.000 ft. in length;
(2) Australian films rejected by the Minister on the advice of the appropriate advisory authority on the ground that their artistic or photographic merit, or their appeal to the interest of
