Anthony Buckley is regarded as one of the leaders of the Australian Film industry having worked as a documentary film maker, director and producer.

Summary: Country towns in Australian cinema are commonly seen in opposition to a fixed, imagined urban normalcy. The first part of this paper discusses the urban/rural dialectic in the construction of rusticity. The second section examines the role women play in the rustic sphere. The last decade has seen a feminizing of the country town in films made predominantly by female directors such as Radiance (Rachel Perkins, 1998), Somersault (Cate Shortland, 2004) and The oyster farmer (Anna Reeves, 2005). The final part of this paper focuses on two break-through films from the mid-1990s, also from female creative teams, which signal a significant shift in the portrayal of women's subjectivity and agency in country towns: Love serenade (Shirley Barrett, 1996) and Road to Nhill (Sue Brooks, 1997). Although these films do not challenge the stereotype of country towns as 'irrelievably dull', their surreal lensing and black comic tone, I suggest, reconfigure rusticity. -- Abstract

Subject: IMPERIALISM AND THE CINEMA AUSTRALIA; WOMEN IN FILMS. AUSTRALIA; PROPOSITION THE (AT/UK, John Hillcoat, 2005)
Summary: John Hillcoat's film The Proposition (2005), written by Nick Cave and set in a late 1880s Australian outback, is a colonial ballad of rape, murder, revenge and fratricide. The central narrative arc is concerned with relations between men, the English Captain Stanley and the Irish Burns gang representing, respectively, the law and the lawless, civilizing imperialists and wild colonials. Drawing on Richard Dyer's White, this article explores the gender-coded white racial imagery of the film and argues that the figure of the white woman signifies what is really at stake: a cultural and racial logic of whiteness as definitive of the Australian.
