Peter Weir is an Australian film director. Born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Weir studied art & law at the University of Sydney. His interest in film was sparked by his meeting with fellow students, including Phillip Noyce & the future members of the Sydney film/lightshow collective Ubu. After leaving university in the mid-1960s he joined Sydney television station ATN-7, where he worked as a production assistant on the groundbreaking satirical comedy program The Mavis Bramston Show. During this period he made his first two experimental short films, Count Vims Last Exercise & The Life & Flight of Reverend Buckshotte. Weir achieved considerable success in Australia with Picnic at Hanging Rock & Gallipoli, both regarded as classic Australian cinema. The Last Wave was a pensive, ambivalent film which explored the interaction between the native Aboriginal culture & the European. His first two American films, Witness & The Mosquito Coast provided Harrison Ford with opportunities to play new kind of roles. Posters Of The Truman Show
