Background
Filmways Australasian Distributors Pty. Ltd. was a film distributor that focused on releasing foreign and independent films from the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have no affiliation with the American company of the same name.
(1971-Early '80s)
Logo: A filmstrip containing the letter "f" in stained glass, along with "ilmways" seen in a different font in italics, which is on the side of the filmstrip and is also on stained glass, is seen on a black background, with the filmstrip appearing to be shining light. "Released by" is on the top of "ilmways" and on the bottom is "Australasian Distributors Pty, Ltd". "PARIS - MELBOURNE - LONDON - NEW YORK",all appear on the bottom, each location having a respective color before having their colors fade to white. After everything is in place, everything disappears except for the company name, which is in white on a black background. The logo zooms back and fades out.

Audio: Same as the home video logo.
Availability: Seen on theatrical prints of films released by/through Filmways in Australia (and possibly also New Zealand) during the mid-1980s.
