'Anthony Buckley is undoubtedly one of the most important figures in Australian cinema. As the editor of the classic films Wake in Fright, Age of Consent and Nureyev's Don Quixote, and producer of such masterly films as Caddie, Bliss and Oyster Farmer, he is well placed to take us behind the scenes to observe the fascinating growth of Australian film making.

'In his memoir, Behind a Velvet Light Trap, Tony introduces us to the characters he has met throughout his career - the actors, stars, producers, technicians - sharing his entertaining stories and insights. A multiple award winner, Tony takes the reader on his personal journey from a child who falls in love with the cinema to Cannes and the multi-million dollar movie industry.

'Tony's production work also includes the films The Night The Prowler and The Killing of Angel Street, as well as television series Poor Man's Orange, Celluloid Heroes and Man on the Rim. His memoir will strike a chord with any lover of Australian history and is a must-read for all involved in film and television. (From the publisher's website.)
