Eric Kenning ACS, began making
films when he was 13, winning his first award, the 20th International
Gold Cup competition for a travel film in 1959.
He began to freelance for the newly opened QTQ9 television station
in Brisbane. His biggest story at that time was coverage of the
first oil strike in Queensland. Eric then moved to Sydney and
joined ATN 7
He moved to Visatone Production Studios at Bondi, housed in the
old Cinesound Studios where many of
Australia's most
famous films had been produced
Two years later he joined
the Commonwealth Film Unit at Lindfield in Sydney, as a cinematographer,
shooting documentaries in Australia and Papua New Guinea on 35mm
for theatre screening.
In 1968 he was recruited by
the Australian News and Information Bureau to establish a production
unit for its newly formed television section and over the next
25 years produced hundreds of television films and videos for
Australia's overseas information programs.
Eric Kenning was admitted
to the ACS in 1963 and later established the ACT Branch, becoming
its first President in 1968.
The branch established a sound
reputation for its seminars and trade shows which culminated
in the Colour 70 seminar held just before colour television started
in Australia.
