AUSTRALIA ; ZECCOLA, ANTONIO ; COULTER, PAUL ; KIELY, CHRIS Summary: The global slump in box office returns has cinema owners and film distributors worried. Some speculation is that the downturn is due to the rise of DVD, home entertainment systems, and other recreational devices (ipods), coupled with the tightening of the film to dvd to pay tv release window. There is some talk that the older multiplex cinemas are in need of upgrading as they may no longer be up to standard for a modern cinemagoing audience.Notes: -- accessed from: Factiva.

Everyone was watching! : strategies of self-presentation in oral histories of cinema-going in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.3 p.261-274
Author: Huggett, Nancy PhysDes: ArticleSubject: AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA ; PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF FILMS ; NARRATIVE IN FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; AUDIENCE RECEPTION. AUSTRALIA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA Summary: This article considers the different ways in which strategies of selective self-presentation on behalf of both interviewee and interviewer structure the oral history narrative, using, as an example. the ways in which embarrassment and shame function in narratives of cinema-going in Australia. The essay explores when and how embarrassment and shame feature in cinema-going narratives and also the way in which some issues, such as the recollection of segregation in rural cinemas, disrupt the easy conversational flow of a narrative and cause discomfort, bordering on embarrassment and shame for both interviewee and interviewer.
Drawing on oral histories and autobiographical accounts from New South Wales cinema-goers, this article delves into the public/private and past/present functions of embarrassment and shame in order to better understand cinema-going practices and recollection strategies. It takes into account how critical oral history and cultural theory can assist cinema studies to examine how practices of cinema-going are situated within wider cultural attidudes and discourses. -- Abstract

AUSTRALIA ; LEGISLATION. AUSTRALIA ; PORNOGRAPHY ON TV ; RATING FOR TV. AUSTRALIA ; SEX AND TV ; VIOLENCE ON TV. AUSTRALIA Summary: "Program classification issues have long been at the core of a heated public debate focusing on what can be shown on television. Because television is readily accessible to nearly all people of all ages, it is accepted that program standards are required to regulate what we are able to watch on television. However, any government regulation of television programs still raises sensitive issues. On the one hand, there is concern that even the most indirect intrusion into programming can destroy artistic intention and creativity. On the other hand, community opinion indicates that television and broadcasting in general, should maintain certain social objectives [...] This monograph is concerned principally with public attitudes to classification issues: namely, sex, violence and offensive language and knowledge of the classification system" - FROM INTRODUCTIONISBN: 0642168857
