This engaging new study brings fresh perspectives, insights, and innovative approaches to a variety of films from a diversity of filmmakers. Areas of focus include the complex and contentious subjects of masculinity, femininity and feminism, the maternal, as well as the Indigenous road film and the protean Australian gothic. During the formative years of the revival, Australian films seemed to emerge from out of the blue in terms of global film history, with many features including Picnic at Hanging Rock (l975), Caddie (l976), The Last Wave (l977), The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (l978), and My Brilliant Career (l979) receiving international distribution and enthusiastic critical acclaim with strong box office results. By the time the film revival was in full swing, not only did Australian audiences flock to theaters to see “homegrown” films, but the quantity of Australian films on overseas screens was so high that ardent critics declared this outpouring an Australian “New Wave.” The eyes of the world had turned to a compelling and largely unknown culture. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781501390029Contents: Acknowledgements -- Dedication -- In Memory Of -- Introduction -- 1.

Armstrong’s films are unique in their aesthetic expression and in the ethical relationships that they depict, framed through the language of gender inclusivity and due in part to her foregrounding of original, complex and nuanced female characters. This important book fills a gap in the literature on women screen practitioners and is a long overdue response to demands for new insight into the work of this significant director.

Lip Carlton, Vic.: Women in the Visual Arts Collective, 1976.
Call No: held 1976-1984CorpAuthor: Women in the Visual Arts Collective; Lip (Carlton, Vic.)Source: ATPlace: Carlton, Vic.Publisher: Women in the Visual Arts CollectivePubDate: 1976PhysDes: v. : ill. ; 30 cmSubject: ART CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; FEMINISM AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; WOMEN AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA Summary: Lip was an interdisciplinary feminist arts journal founded in 1976 in Carlton. In 1975, one of Lip’s founders, Suzanne Spunner, coordinated the Melbourne edition of the International Women’s Film Festival, held at the Palais Theatre and RMIT.
The festival was held in every state capital across Australia and was provoked by the lack of women’s films at the 1975 Sydney Film Festival. The festival was a success and proved to dismissive distributors that there was an appetite and an audience for women’s films.
To compliment the festival, Spunner, Christine Johnston, Pat Longmore and Sue Johnston, had prepared related articles, interviews and reviews for a special edition of Cinema Papers devoted to women and film. When the issue was inexplicably pulled, Cinema Papers purportedly agreed to publish only a short piece on the festival - for a sum below the usual writer’s commission.
Outraged, the group resolved to publish a feminist film magazine. With the “paltry proceeds” from Cinema Papers and some jumble sales on the streets of Carlton, as well as the support of the Women’s Art Register and the Women’s Theatre Group, Lip was born.
Lip was a strikingly visual publication, which featured artworks, essays, interviews, articles and critical reviews. The editorial team of Lip functioned as a “collective of feminists” and held open evaluation meetings after each issue to critically discuss the ideas raised in the publication.
The magazine featured the work of many highly regarded Australian artists, including Ponch Hawkes and Mirka Mora - the artist behind the image here of a Melbourne tram.
Lip magazine ceased print publication in 1984.

The films are 'The Man From Snowy River', 'Sunday Too Far Away', 'We of the Never Never', 'Picnic at Hanging Rock' and 'The Plains of Heaven'. These five texts are examined in light of feminist theories dealing with subjectivity and representation. The analysis of the place and role of femininity within the texts is conducted through the examination of symbols and metaphors associated with the landscape which operate within the film structure. The thesis concludes that the Australian landscape is constructed within these films in such a way as to support the concept of a white, masculine Australian identity..." -- taken from summaryNotes: Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, Centre for Womens Studies; Summary: [unpaged] at front of text; Typescript; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 104-110)LON: abn93171145; 10039377Contents: 1.
