Fraser Film Release and Photographic Company was an Australian film company formed in 1912 by two brothers, Archie and Colin Fraser.
It operated as a film exchange, importing movies from overseas, and production house, making shorts, features and documentaries.
[1][2][3] Early financial support came from Giuseppe Borsalino, an Italian businessman who invested in Italian films and used Fraser Films as an Australia outlet for his company.
[4] Among the filmmakers who worked for them were Franklyn Barrett, Raymond Longford and Alfred Rolfe.
[5] Despite some early successes, the company suffered from pressure exerted by the "combine" of Australasian Films and decline of production from Europe due to World War I where Fraser brought many of their films.
