AUSTRALIA Summary: "A three-volume project tracing critical positions, people, and institutions in Australian film, Australian Film Theory and Criticism interrogates both the the origins of Australian film theory and its relationships to adjacent disciplines and institutions. This second volume gathers interviews with national and international film theorists and critics to chart the development of different discourses in Australian film studies through the decades. Seeking to examine the position of film theoriests and their relationship to film industry practitioners and policy-makers, it looks to assert Australian film's place on the international scholarly agenda." -- BOOK BLURBISBN: 9781783200375Contents: Volume Two -- Introduction: Serious film studies and magpies / Noel King and Deane Williams -- Part I: Brisbane -- [Albert Moran, Stuart Cunningham, Graeme Turner, Tom O'Regan, Colin Crisp and Jane Crisp, Jonathan Dawson / interviewed by Noel King] -- Part II: Melbourne [Mick Counihan / interviewed by Noel King -- Barbara Creed, Ina Bertrand, Sam Rohdie, Lesley Stern, Bill Routt, Adrian Martin / interviewed by Deane Williams] -- Part III: Sydney and Newcastle [Ross Gibson / interviewed by Deane Williams -- Meaghan Morris / interviewed by Lauren Bliss -- David Boyd / interviewed by Noel King] -- Part IV: Adelaide and Perth [Brian Shoesmith, Noel Purdon / interviewed by Noel King -- Toby Miller / interviewed by Deane Williams] -- Part V: UK and USA [Paul Willemen, Dana Polan / interviewed by Deane Williams -- Manuel Alvarado, Colin MacCabe, Edward Buscombe, Michael Eaton, Jim Kitses / interviewed by Noel King]

Film criticism as cultural fantasy : the perpetual French discovery of Australian cinema / by Andrew McGregor Bern, Switzerland: Peter Lang, 2010.
Call No: 670 MCGAuthor: Lang, Peter Source: SZPlace: Bern, SwitzerlandPublisher: Peter LangPubDate: 2010PhysDes: 315 p. ; 23 cm.Subject: CRITICISM ; CRITICISM. AUSTRALIA ; FRANCE ; AUSTRALIA Summary: " This book presents an unprecedented analysis of the dynamics of cultural representation and interpretation in film criticism. It examines how French critical reception of Australian cinema since the revival period of the 1970s has evolved as a narrative of perpetual discovery, and how a clear parallel can be drawn between French critics' reading of Australian film and their interpretation of an exotic Australian national identity. In French critical writing on Australian cinema, Australian identity is frequently defined in terms of extremes of cultural specificity and cultural anonymity. On the one hand, French critics construct a Euro-centric orientalist fantasy of Australia as not only a European Antipodes, but the antithesis of Europe. At the same time, French critics have tended to subordinate Australian cultural identity within the framework of a resented Anglo-American filmic and cultural hegemony. The book further explores this marginalisation by examining the influence of the French auteur paradigm, particularly in reference to the work of Jane Campion, as well as by discussing the increasingly problematic notion of national identity, and indeed national cinemas, within the universal framework of international film culture." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 305-312) and index.; Includes bibliographical references and filmography.ISBN: 9783034300537Contents: Cultural fantasy : the perpetual French discovery of an ever-emerging -- Cinema of the Antipodes -- In the beginning : the Australian cinema industry from the cine´matographe to the revival -- Points of view : film criticism, film journals and press reviews in France -- Before the revival : the French critical reception of Australian cinema pre-1971 -- The new frontier : the French critical reception of Australian cinema 1971-1979 -- Forever young : the French critical reception of Australian cinema 1980-1984 -- International icons : the French critical reception of Australian cinema 1985-1989 -- Kitsch stylisation : the French critical reception of Australian cinema 1990-1994 -- Perpetual discovery : the French critical reception of Australian cinema 1995-2001 -- Conclusions.

Over that time McFarlane’s reviews of and articles on film have featured in The Age, Australian Book Review, Cinema Papers, Inside Story, Meanjin, Metro, Screening the Past, Senses of Cinema, Sight & Sound, and many other sources online, on air and on paper.
This selection of McFarlane’s writings on film, taken as a whole, tells a story about what has brought us back to the cinema again and again, from recent times to a now more distant past. In his attuned but easy style, sprinkled with wit and insight, our guide brings back memories, fills gaps in our knowledge, triggers conversations, and inspires delight and enthusiasm.
Making a Meal of It is a first-rate resource for film buffs and excellent dinner-table company. -- publisher's web siteNotes: introduction by Ian BritainISBN: 9781925523416Donation: Senses of Cinema
