Summary: Offers an important insight into the formative moments of transnational film culture in Australia - Provides vibrant textual studies of under-evaluated Australian international pictures - Develops an understanding of international film production in the years following WWII and before the Australian film revival of the 1970s - Corrects the perception that there was no significant feature film production in Australia after the 1930s and before the revival - Offers background and important precedents for the more recent practices of global co-productions and ‘Hollywood Down-under’ Australian International Pictures examines the concept and definition of Australian film in relation to a range of local, international and global practices and trends that blur neat categorisations of national cinema. Although international co-production is particularly acute in the present day, this book examines the porous nature of Australian International filmmaking, and the intriguing transnational and cross-cultural formations created by globally targeted but locally focussed films made in Australia in the period 1946–75. -- publisher's web site

Summary: "This book is, at one level, a selective history of Australian documentary film in the immediate post-war years. At another level it is a sketch of an internationalist progressive film culture in the same place and period. It examines some landmark films in Australian Film History and places these important works in an international context. In this work of film history Deane Williams proposes that, while these films have been understood as inferior remakes of "overseas" written, theatrical and filmic texts, these films are evidence of an Australian film culture that was a key participant in an international network of documentary practice and criticism."--BOOK JACKET.

Subject: INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA; OVERLANDERS, THE (UK, Harry Watt, 1946)
Summary: This article argues that Harry Watt's The overlandrs (1946), an Ealing Studios film shot in Australia, should be understood as an international film product, one with a foot in the post-war cultural histories of both Australia and Britain. In this sense the film requires different reading strategies to those used within a national cinema framework. The article resists 'settling' the account, or justifying the film's raison d'etre with respect to only one of nationalist discourse, arguing that a reliable and truthful account of The overlanders will always be a composite one. -- Abstract
