Hall, 1933) Summary: The book focuses on two key 'sheep films': The Squatter's Daughter and Bitter Springs. Both movies are concerned with the national project, in which sheep growing and nation building are seamlessly aligned. But Verhoeven artfully demonstrates that it is precisely in their emphasis on textual re-iteration and repetition that the sheep films critique an otherwise ostensibly 'national' vision.

journal article		Twice born : Dionysos Films and the establishment of a Greek film circuit in Australia in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.1 p.275-298 Author: Verhoeven, Deb PhysDes: Article Subject: HISTORY OF CINEMA. AUSTRALIA; DISTRIBUTION. AUSTRALIA; EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA; AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA; ETHNIC GROUPS AND THE CINEMA Summary: From the late 1940s until the late 1970s Melbourne was home to a dynamic Greek cinema circuit made up of some 30 different inner-city and suburban venues operated by a handful of vertically integrated exhibition/distribution businesses. Dionysos Films was amongst the first Greek film exhibition/distribution companies to form in Australia and from 1949 until 1956 it operated with little significant competition, establishing the parameters for a diasporic Greek film circuit that stretched across regional and metropolitan Australia and into New Zealand. This article measures the shadow cast by Dionysos Films (and its charismatic proprietor Stathis Raftopoulos) over the history of Antipodean Greek film experiences and the implications that this neglected aspect of Australian and Greek film history has for our understanding of the national cinemas in both countries. -- Abstract More info
