Interesting facts

Beyond Reason is a 1970 Australian post-apocalyptic drama film.

Production

The film marked an attempt by Giorgia Mangiamele to make a more commercial feature than his first, being shot in colour, and using professional writers. The budget was raised by private investors and Magiamele's camera and recording equipment were sold after shooting to help pay lab charges. It was shot over three weeks in August 1968 mostly at a large underground room at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.
