Syme Home Video

Syme Home Video was the video arm of David Syme and Company, publishers of a newspaper called The Age. This newspaper and the video company were both headquartered in Melbourne, Victoria. It began releasing titles in the fall of 1982, and released special interest, comedy, drama, music, and cartoon videos, as well as the catalogue of Walt Disney Home Video until 1985. The company ceased operations in the summer of 1986, a year after its corporate parent was acquired by Fairfax Media, a move that made The Age a sister publication to The Sydney Morning Herald.
