Summary: Australia is proud of its film industry. Government has invested millions. Our stars win Oscars. Are we receiving the benefits of our investment? Is our industry thriving? Or is it swamped by foreign ‘runaway’ productions from other people’s film industries? Who controls the films we make? In a timely quest for answers, Nick Herd examines the controversies surrounding our film studios, the forces of globalisation and the tensions between the cultural and industry imperatives.

Subject: PRODUCTION DEALS
Summary: Two screenwriters once walked into a Hollywood producer’s office and said three words 'Jaws in space.' Those three words won them the contract for the blockbuster movie Alien. The ability to pitch well is essential for all writers, directors and producers in cinema and TV, drama, documentary and series. Strong pitching skills will accelerate your career – not only helping you sell your projects, but also developing them in the first place, focusing on what makes a story work, clarifying character and plot, and working more successfully with industry collaborators. This book takes you from the essentials of what makes a good pitch to advanced skills that will help you in all kinds of pitching situations. Charles Harris gives a clear-sighted view of how pitching works in the industry and a series of very practical techniques for developing a gripping and convincing pitch. Drawing on his experience, he examines the problems that can arise with both mainstream and unconventional projects – from a range of different cultures – and explains how to solve them. He also analyses the process of taking a pitch meeting and shows you how to ensure you perform at your best. -- publisher's web site

Subject: INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA; PRODUCTION DEALS. AUSTRALIA; DISTRIBUTION. AUSTRALIA; NATIONAL CULTURE AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA
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: PRODUCTION DEALS. AUSTRALIA; ASIANS IN FILMS. AUSTRALIA; ADVERTISING FOR FILMS; PRODUCTION DEALS. AUSTRALIA; SEXUALITY AND THE CINEMA; HOME SONG STORIES, THE (AT, Tony Ayres, 2007)
Summary: This paper examines Tony Ayres' recent film, The Home Song Stories (2007) using the framework of queer Asian Australian migration. First, queer migration is critically considered through the minor transnationalism of its co-production. Evaluating the marketing of the film in Singapore and Australia, this article shows how Chinese ethnicity is deployed as exclusive and inclusive to enable different tactics of queer mobility and how these tactics are incorporated by different film policies to fulfil competing national aims. Second, this article considers the queer mobility of diasporic intimacy. Diasporic intimacy disrupts the regulation of queer migration and shows how the private domains of memory, family and sexuality are reconstituted in the transnational Chinese diaspora. The framework of queer Asian Australian migration describes the non-normative migration of Asians to Australia, the disjunctive flows of mobility that constitute the Asian diaspora in Australia, as well as the regulation of non-normative Asian Australian migration in national symbolic and institutional economies. The framework of queer Asian Australian migration, this article argues, provides a theoretical platform to critically consider the transnationality of Asian Australian cinema. -- Abstract

Subject: INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA; PRODUCTION ASIA; PRODUCTION DEALS. AUSTRALIA; ASIANS AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA; FILM WORKERS
Summary: This article examines some of the material dimensions of Asian Australian cinema through an analysis of selected regional production and post-production flows since 1980, and the debates surrounding them. It begins with a theoretical discussion of the role of labour within the global film industry, before moving on to consider controversies around the offshoring of film production to lower-cost destinations. Specific examples of production relays between Asia and Australia are analysed in the context of models of cultural labour offered by Toby Miller et al. and Ben Goldsmith. The author proposes a definition of Asian Australian cinema that seeks to attend to cross-border collaboration at a variety of levels and to render visible ‘below-the-line’ Asian Australian interfaces that do not necessarily register on screen. -- Abstract

Summary: As Hollywood insiders know, the first step in selling your story idea for film or television isn't writing a script - it's preparing a treatment, the brief pitch of a story that sells the concept to a busy producer or agent. In this accessible, entertaining guide, writer-producers Kenneth Atchity and Chi-Li Wong tell readers everything they need to know to create an effective and salable treatment, one that includes such key elements as conflict, likable characters, plot twists, a climax, and visual drama
