Summary: Deeply rooted in Australia’s construction as a young nation, ‘coming of age’ has been the defining narrative of Australia’s national cinema. This book provides the first study which systematically explores the ‘coming of age’ theme in Australian feature films produced since the turn of the millennium, foregrounding how films use a range of diverse (his)stories to respond to the centrality of this theme. Rather than focussing on ‘coming of age’ mainly in its portrayal of a (successful) maturation process, this study explores the possibilities inherent in what is conceived of as a ‘permanently’ transitional ‘coming of age’ process, providing a crucial starting point for the re-definition of national fictions. A range of cinematic genres, including the road movie, crime film, sport film, romance and musical, is used to challenge and (to varying degrees) destabilise the national myth of Australia as a youthful, egalitarian society with a chance and ‘fair go’ for everyone. -- publisher's web site

Summary: “Drawing on concepts of shock, memory and national maturity, ‘Australian Cinema after Mabo’ asks what part Australian cinema plays in reviewing our colonial past. It looks at how the 1992 Mabo decision, which overruled the nation’s founding myth of terra nullius, has changed the meaning of landscape and identity in Australian films, including The Tracker, Rabbit-Proof Fence, Moulin Rouge, The Castle, Cunnamulla, Looking for Alibrandi and Japanese Story amongst many others.” (back cover)

Subject: ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIANS AND THE CINEMA; ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIANS AND TV; RADIANCE (AT, Rachel Perkins, 1998)
Summary: Rachel Perkins' film adaptation of Radiance was released in 1998. With very few exceptions, reviews and criticisms of the film have been polarized. These reviews and criticisms show that Aboriginality is often classified in one of two ways: as either de-politicized and thereby not Aboriginal (assimilationist), or politicized and thereby not 'normal' (segregationist). This paper addresses various criticisms of Radiance that categorize Aboriginality in either of these ways before providing a close reading of the 'socio-political stuff' in the film. What will be seen is how Perkins' work can be seen to deny either category through her representation of various, multiple Aboriginal identities.--Abstract

Notes: How did Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population go from being the objectified subjects of documentary films to the directors and producers in the digital age? What prompted these changes and how and when did this decolonisation of documentary film production occur? Taking a long historical perspective, this book is based on a study of a selection of Australian documentary films produced by and about Aboriginal peoples since the early twentieth century. The films signpost significant shifts in Anglo-Australian attitudes about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and trace the growth of the Indigenous filmmaking industry in Australia. Used as a form of resistance to the imposition of colonialism, filmmaking gave Aboriginal people greater control over their depiction on documentary film and the medium has become an avenue to contest widely held assumptions about a peaceful colonial settlement. This study considers how developments in camera and film stock technologies along with filmic techniques influenced the depiction of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The films are also examined within their historical context, employing them to gauge how social attitudes, access to funding and political pressures influenced their production values. The book aims to expose the course of race relations in Australia through the decolonisation of documentary film by Aboriginal filmmakers, tracing their struggle to achieve social justice and self-representation. -- publisher's web site

Summary: This article reflects on the process of making a preview for a proposed one-hour documentary film about the first national Aboriginal debutante ball, held to celebrate the 1967 referendum. Forty years after the event, an indigenous and non-indigenous cast and crew explore the memories and life stories of those women who debuted in front of the prime minister of Australia in 1968. In doing so the film, and the making of it, moves from the genocidal fantasy of extermination masquerading as assimilation, into the heart of the complexities of survival and identity in contemporary Australia.--Abstract

Summary: This book comprises a collection of essays exploring aspects of gender, race and place in selected Australian films in various phases of Australian cinema: from Charles Chauvel’s 'Jedda' (1955), to the ‘period’ films of the New Wave in the 1970s, to the emergence of Indigenous filmmakers in the late 1990s, and the contemporary era of transnational productions in Australia. The spectacle of Australian cinema in these essays suggests the transitional energies of a growing industry and the regional nuances of gender, place and culture. The book draws on a range of scholarly sources and an extensive filmography in investigating Australian cinema history in the latter twentieth century, and in highlighting recent trends in promotion of Australia as a film-production destination

Summary: In 2000, maverick Australian director Rolf de Heer began a collaboration with Australian Aboriginal screen legend David Gulpilil to make a film set in Gulpilil's traditional lands in North Eastern Arnhem Land. The result of the collaboration is the new feature Ten canoes (2006). For Culpilil the project represented an opportunity to launch careers in film for members of his community including his son Jamie Gulpilil (who plays the lead role). He has also stated that ' the film will allow people from the community and around the world to know how our ancestors lived and to understand them'. In order to try to achieve this, de Heer took on the challenging task he describes as 'fusing two very different storytelling traditions'. Drawing on the documentary Balanda and the bark canoes (2006) (also known as Making ten canoes) and other sources this article goes behind the scenes to examine processes of cross-cultural collaboration and intercultural fusion. It argues the film shows that while stories have different forms and functions in different societies, one story can be made to serve two different cultural requirements and, further, in doing so can expand possibilities for both cross-cultural recognition and cinema.-- Abstract

Summary: "From the dawn of cinema, images of Indigenous peoples have been dominated by Hollywood stereotypes and often negative depictions from elsewhere around the world. With the advent of digital technologies, however, many Indigenous peoples are working to redress the imbalance in numbers and counter the negativity. The contributors to Reverse Shots offer a unique scholarly perspective on current work in the world of Indigenous film and media. Chapters focus primarily on Canada, Australia, and New Zealand and cover areas as diverse as the use of digital technology in the creation of Aboriginal art, the healing effects of Native humour in First Nations documentaries, and the representation of the pre-colonial in films from Australia, Canada, and Norway.
