Summary: Most histores of Australian cinema have foregrounded film production but have little to say about film distribution and exhibition, which were more powerful sectors of the cinema industry in Australia. This study examines the distribution and exhibition of films in Adelaide's central business district and suburban circuits during the introduction of sound in 1928-29. In addition to analysing the impact of the new technology, this article looks at the way that film distribution in this period changed in response to a number of other factors including the switch to direct distribution, the rise of British production and the local politics of first-run exhibition competition. The article examines the structure of the city and suburban exhibition in Adelaide and demonstrates that any analysis of the industry's response to sound technologies must take into account intensely local factors in order to explain the ways that different compaines adopted varying industrial tactics during the diffusion of this new technology. -- Abstract

"The purpose of this Bill is to create a new statutory authority to be responsible for Government activities relating to the production and distribution of film in Victoria including film produced for educational purposes. The new organisation to be known as Film Victoria will be established by amalgamating the Victorian Film Corporation, the State Film Centre, and sections of the Audio-Visual Resources Branch of the Education Department. As a result, the unnecessary duplication of functions by the organisations will be avoided and the capacity of the Government to meet the present and future media needs of Victorians will be enhanced." - PURPOSE OF THE BILL

Subject: AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA; EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA; DISTRIBUTION. AUSTRALIA
Summary: Cinema is one of the most popular forms of cultural entertainment in contemporary rural Australia, yet very little is understood about film circulation, presentation and consumption in non-metropolitan locations. Despite a growing interest in the situation of rural cinema by film historians, scholars have been slow to engage with the detail and meaning of its more recent past. The preoccupation with the connections between cinema and contemporary modernity have tended to over-estimate the significance of the metropolitan and to obscure the diversity and richness of cinema-going practice in Australia. Drawing on analysis of national box office data and material from a microstudy conducted in the rural town of Merimbula on the far south coast of New South Wales, this article seeks to contribute to addressing this gap. It considers three key questions — Who is watching films at the cinema in rural Australia? Why are they watching? And what do these acts of consumption mean? -- Abstract

Summary: The writer examines how dynamic and shifting relations between the local/national and the international have transformed the ways in which people think about what constitutes Australian cinema. Noting that over the last 20 years or so, Australian cinema's international relations in production and policy have expanded and become more complex, while those with Hollywood have been transformed, he illustrates how relations of commonality and continuity with the international called up in the new arrangements challenge the dominant articulation in policy of difference from other kinds of filmmaking as the basis of Australian cinema. -- Provided by publisher

Subject: INTERNET AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA; INTERNET AND THE CINEMA; DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION; DISTRIBUTION. AUSTRALIA
Summary: The hype around digital film distribution is now at fiver pitch, with promises of a brave new world of instant delivery, unfettered consumer choice and new revenue streams for film-makers. Surveying the current array of commercial online video-on-demand (VOD) services, this article offers some critical reflections on these emerging circulatory models. The focus is on power relations within the online VOI industry and on issues of audience access and equity. The article argues that distribution should be a key concern for contemporary film researchers, given the power of distributors to determine the range of films available to viewers and the conditions under which they are accessible. While the ‘democratizing’ potential of online distribution may be appealing, it is important to recognize that digital delivery infrastructures may not result in any real diversification of film culture, that much of the Australian audience will be excluded from their reach and that the vast majority of online film consumption will continue to take place in the extralegal realm. -- Abstract

Summary: "The workshop, whose edited proceedings are reprinted in this volume, was prompted by convenient accidents of place and time. Early in 2009, a mature-age student with a background in journalism asked me the rhetorical question: why was Australian cinema in decline? Pressed about the proposition contained in the question, the student pointed out that in the year 2008, only two feature films - Australia and Happy Feet - appeared to have a noticeable presence at the theatrical box office. In what has become an average figure for annual Australian production output, some 22 feature films had been released that year but only these two films seemed to have any impact so far as their marketing and audience visibility was concerned. But, of course, this view drastically simpifies the situation of what is occurring in Australian film distribution and exhibition and how that is impacting on film production. The fact is that we know little of how these elements currently operate so far as various sectors of the Australian cinema industry are concernerned. This prompted first thoughts about undertaking some form of investgation" -- Introduction

Summary: Although there is a plethora of popular and academic literature on ‘cinema’ little, if any, explains the day-to-day management of getting films from the distributor to the cinema, from cinema to cinema, and from cinema back to the distributor. The author's discovery of a cache of historic film-hire documents, normally discarded after a couple of years, has thrown light on this aspect of micro-management of film distribution. From some 3,500 documents for the 1950s decade Ross Thorne has produced a database covering about 80 per cent of the films shown at one small-town cinema in New South Wales. Analysis of the database shows how complex cinema management was and how, up until the coming of television, the railways played a crucial role in the organization of the regional entertainment business. -- Abstract

Summary: Very few South Australian local histories give any account of the ritual screening of films in local community halls and regional picture theatres. Given that the 1930s was a turbulent era for the exhibition industry, the survival of the rural picture show beyond the decade suggests that it played a significant role in local history. This article will discuss the distribution and exhibition of films in rural South Australia during the early 1930s and the impact of legislation on the small operators. It goes on to examine the cinema-going preferences of the mid-north town of Snowtown during two years from July 1933 to June 1935 and considers the factors other than taste that determined the popularity of a screening. -- Abstract

Summary: Through a detailed study of the circulation of European silent film in Australasia in the early twentieth century, this book challenges the historical myopia that treats Hollywood films as having always dominated global film culture. Before World War I, European silent feature films were ubiquitous in Australia and New Zealand, teaching Antipodean audiences about Continental cultures and familiarizing them with glamorous European stars, from Asta Nielsen to Emil Jannings. After the rise of Hollywood and then the shift to sound film, this history—and its implications for cross-cultural exchange—was lost. Julie K. Allen recovers that history, with its flamboyant participants, transnational currents, innovative genres, and geopolitical complications, bringing it all vividly to life. Making ground-breaking use of digitized Australian and New Zealand newspapers, the author reconstructs the distribution and exhibition of European silent films in the Antipodes, along the way incorporating compelling biographical sketches of the ambitious pioneers of the Australasian cinema industry. She reveals the complexity and competitiveness of the early cinema market, in a region with high consumer demand and low domestic production, and frames the dramatic shift to almost exclusively American cinema programming during World War I, contextualizing the rise of the art film in the 1920s in competition with mainstream Hollywood productions. This book’s treatment of the extensive circulation of European silent features and stars in Australasia reveals the vibrant transnationalism of silent film before the rise of Hollywood, and frames the emergence of art house cinema in the 1920s. -- publisher's web site

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
