Summary: Garry Maddox focuses on slef-characterised perpetually bleak Chris Borthwick, co-writer of "Annie's Coming Out". Borthwick reveals his dissatisfaction with the film's script, despite it's picking up an award from the AFI, as it did not eventuate in the social change which he had aimed for in regards to the rights and life of the physically handicapped. Maddox relates how Borthwick's disallusionment has led to the scriptwriter's decision to enrol in a law degree at the University of Melbourne
Notes: "Annie's Coming Out" is also known by its US title "A Test of Love"

Summary: Global awareness of autism has skyrocketed since the 1980s, and popular culture has caught on, with film and television producers developing ever more material featuring autistic characters. Autism in Film and Television brings together more than a dozen essays on depictions of autism, exploring how autistic characters are signified in media and how the reception of these characters informs societal understandings of autism. Editors Murray Pomerance and R. Barton Palmer have assembled a pioneering examination of autism’s portrayal in film and television. Contributors consider the various means by which autism has been expressed in films such as Phantom Thread, Mercury Rising, and Life Animated and in television and streaming programs including Atypical, Stranger Things, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Community. Across media, the figure of the brilliant, accomplished, and “quirky” autist has proven especially appealing. Film and television have thus staked out a progressive position on neurodiversity by insisting on screen time for autism but have done so while frequently ignoring the true diversity of autistic experience. As a result, this volume is a welcome celebration of nonjudgmental approaches to disability, albeit one that is still freighted with stereotypes and elisions. -- publisher's web site

Summary: " Ellis offers a rich account of Australian cinema from the standpoint of critical disability studies, one of the few full-length accounts of disability and film internationally and a pioneering study that should be widely read. Gerard Goggin, coauthor of Disability in Australia Disabled characters in 1990s Australian national cinema are both invisible and hypervisible. Existing within the landscape of diversity as it emerged in repsonse to multiculturalism and minority group interests, they are most often used to rehabilitate a previously marginalised other. This book critically examines numerous 1990s Australian films with reference to socio-political influences to approach disability as a problem with society rather than as one within a damaged body. This book is directed towards researchers in Communications, Media Studies, and Film and Disabiltiy fields. This book is also addressed to those who have an interest in people who exist on the margins of society. " -- BOOK BLURB

Subject: PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN FILMS; MAD MAX [...] (AT, 1979-85)
Summary: This book explores the inter-relationship of disability and trauma in the Mad Max films (1979-2015). George Miller’s long-running series is replete with narratives and imagery of trauma, both physical and emotional, along with major and minor characters who are prominently disabled. The Mad Max movies foreground representations of the body – in devastating injury and its lasting effects – and in the broader social and historical contexts of trauma, disability, gender and myth. Over the franchise’s four-decade span significant social and cultural change has occurred globally. Many of the images of disability and trauma central to Max’s post-apocalyptic wasteland can be seen to represent these societal shifts, incorporating both decline and rejuvenation. These shifts include concerns with social, economic and political disintegration under late capitalism, projections of survival after nuclear war, and the impact of anthropogenic climate change. Drawing on screen production processes, textual analysis and reception studies this book interrogates the role of these representations of disability, trauma, gender and myth to offer an in-depth cultural analysis of the social critiques evident within the fantasies of Mad Max. -- publisher's web site
