Parer's War is a 2014 television film about Damien Parer, the Australian war photographer whose Second World War documentary film Kokoda Front Line! documenting the Kokoda Track campaign was the first Australian film to win an Oscar at the 15th Academy Awards. [1] [2]
The film opens in 1942 with Parer in Mubo, New Guinea filming Australian troops during the Kokoda Track Campaign and covers the production of Kokoda Front Line!, his relationship with his wife Marie, events leading to his redeployment, and his subsequent death by Japanese gunfire at Palau in September 1944.
Director Alister Grierson utilised point-of-view shots centred on Parer's camera throughout the film and shot scenes set in New Guinea on-location at Tamborine Mountain in Queensland. [3]
