CIC-Taft Video was the Australian subsidiary of [[Cinema International Corporation Video]]. It originated as a joint venture between [[Cinema International Corporation]] and Rigby Publishers Pty. Ltd., a subsidiary of James Hardie Industries, to distribute material from CIC and Hanna-Barbera. Its tapes were duplicated by [[Roadshow Entertainment (Australia)|Roadshow Home Video]]. In 1983, the joint venture was reorganized as Taft-Hardie Group, after which the video subsidiary changed its name accordingly. After a takeover of Taft-Hardie and a renaming to Southern Star Group, the company sold its interests in the distributor to CIC, which from that point on became the sole owner; as such, it became CIC Video Australia. | CIC-Taft Video was the Australian subsidiary of [[Cinema International Corporation Video]].
