Summary: Dancing to His Song, is the first comprehensive review of the work of Rolf de Heer, Australia's most prolific auteur, an idiosyncratic filmmaker famed for never repeating himself. Film by film, Jane Freebury searches for the sources of de Heer's inspiration and finds the secret to his success in an ethic of hard work, flexibility and self-reliance that meets challenges and obstacles with in genuity without ever losing sight of his vision. His remarkable career as an independent filmmaker has much to teach young producers and directors. [Taken from the back of the book]

Summary: " 'Dutch Tilt, Aussie Auteur: the Films of Rolf De Heer' is an auteur analysis of the twelve feature films directed (mostly written and produced) by Holland-born Australian Rolf De Heer. From the children's story about the restoration of a Tiger Moth biplane, "Tail of a Tiger "(1984), to his break-out cult sensation " Bad Boy Bubby" (1993) which "tore Venice apart," to the first Aboriginal Australian language film "Ten Canoes" (2006) which scooped the pool at the AFI awards and won the Special Jury prize at Cannes Film Festival, de Heer has been consistently unpredictable. However, Starr's close study of his work suggests that Australia's most innovative and respected Arthouse film-maker has a signature pre-occupation with giving a voice to marginalized, non-hyper-masculine protagonists. Demonstrating a propensity to write and direct in a European-like style, de Heer's "Dutch tilt" is very much non-mainstream Hollywood, but is nevertheless representative of a typically Australian world-view." -- BOOK BLURB
