Administrative / biographical background:

The Films Advisory Committee (1972-1990) was set up to identify and recommend suitable films where it was judged that such films would be the most effective means of promoting the Authority's work and policies. The Information and Publicity Branch was set up in 1972. It was responsible for promoting the policies and activities of the CAA through the press, radio and television, publications, films and exhibitions. In 1984 the branch was re-named the Public Relations Department, and in 1999 became the Corporate Communications Department. Despite these name changes, the functions of the department remained the same.
