Beskrivning

Australian International Pictures examines the concept and definition of Australian film in relation to a range of local, international and global practices and trends that blur neat categorisations of national cinema. Although international co-production is particularly acute in the present day, this book examines the porous nature of Australian International filmmaking, and the intriguing transnational and cross-cultural formations created by globally targeted but locally focussed films made in Australia in the period 1946 75.

Recensioner i media

Offering sharp and smart close-readings of films in Australia through the long post-war period, a moment often understudied and underappreciated (if not downright dismissed), the authors revise, yet also productively revive, conceptions of national cinema through a composite framework nicely attuned to scales of global and local and their necessary interaction.
