The Office Picnic is a 1972 Australian comedy film directed by Tom Cowan.
It was entered into the 8th Moscow International Film Festival.
Cowan got the idea to make the film while walking through the bush during shooting of a documentary in the Victorian countryside.
[3] He says he was also influenced by the novels of Patrick White and the films of Antonioni.
[3] The film was successfully previewed at Toorak and for a time it looked as though it would be distributed by British Empire Films but in the end most commercial screenings were arranged by the director.
