Australian Made: The Movie is a July 1987 live concert film of the Australian Made tour from December 1986 to January 1987. The tour featured internationally performing Australian acts, INXS, Divinyls, Models, The Triffids, The Saints, I'm Talking, Mental As Anything and Jimmy Barnes.[2][3] The film was directed by INXS' video collaborator, Richard Lowenstein but did not contain any footage of Mental As Anything.[3][4] Concert segments were linked by Troy Davies interviewing audience members and musicians.[5]
Australian Made: The Movie was released in Australia on VHS in 1988. In 1989 in the United Kingdom, an edited VHS version, retitled as Australian Made: Featuring INXS Live, was issued which removed footage by Barnes. An edited DVD version was released in 2003 with all footage of The Triffids and Barnes removed. On 25 November 2016 a remastered version of the original film, with widescreen and remastered audio, was shown in Australian cinemas.[6]
