Rubbish (Early 1980s Marionette Film)

Created in 1980 by the Marionette Theatre of Australia, was a 45 minute film titled Rubbish. The film was live action, utilised marionettes, and was shot primarily on the streets of Sydney.

Rubbish involved a young boy creating a world of puppet friends using pieces of rubbish found in the street. It is perhaps most notable for its antagonist, an eerie marionette witch, who relentlessly chases the boy down.

Besides a few brief mentions of various VHS releases of the film, not a lot of information is available about it. No screenshots can be found online, nor can any footage of the film, whatsoever, though the film can apparently be found on VHS at several Australian libraries and universities, along with a collection of production photographs.
