Summary: This article focuses on moments in a series of key films: Razorback (Mulcahy, 1984), Dark Age (Nicholson, 1987), Rogue (McLean, 2007), Howling III: the Marsupials (Mora, 1987) and Dying Breed (Dwyer 2008). Using an 'eco-postcolonial' framework, the author argues that these films extend postcolonial anxieties over settler Australian notions of belonging and challenge the notion of human mastery over nature.
Notes: We hear so much about extinction in debates around climate change. But what about those animals that go feral and then return – bigger, hungrier and angrier – to wreak revenge on humans who may have done them injustice? Using an eco-postcolonial framework, this article examines how a number of exploitation horror films have dealt with environmental topics and issues of trespass. In particular, I examine the agency of animals – crocs, pigs, thylacines and marsupial werewolves – in some key Australian eco-horror films from the last 30 years: Long Weekend (Eggleston,1978), Razorback (Mulcahy, 1984), Dark Age (Nicholson, 1987), Howling III: the Marsupials (Mora, 1987), Rogue (Greg McLean, 2007), Black Water (Nerlich & Traucki, 2007) and Dying Breed (Dwyer 2008). On the one hand, these films extend postcolonial anxieties over settler Australian notions of belonging, while on the other, they signify a cultural shift. The animals portrayed have an uncanny knack of adapting and hybridizing in order to survive, and thus they (the films and the animals) force us to acknowledge more culturally plural forms of being. In particular, these films unwittingly emphasize what Tim Low has termed the ‘new Nature’: an emerging ethic that foregrounds the complex and dynamic interrelationships of animals with humans.--Abstract

Summary: Bad Boy Bubby focuses on a 35 year-old man-child whose 'mother/keeper' keeps him imprisoned in a windowless hovel. From the moment it entered the festival cycle in 1993, the film has polarized audiences. This volume examines how and why the film produced such conflicting responses, as well as reviewing its current relevance. -- PUBLISHERS WEB SITE

Summary: A daring, deep investigation into ethnographic cinema that challenges standard ways of writing film history and breaks important new ground in understanding archives Bad Film Histories is a vital work that unsettles the authority of the archive, examining the imprecisions and absences that define film history and its archives. Taking ethnographic cinema as a crucial case study, Katherine Groo challenges standard ways of thinking and writing about film history and questions widespread assumptions about what film artifacts are and what makes them meaningful. -- publisher's web site

Summary: Kiss of the Beast: From Paris Salon to King Kong explores images of gorillas, wild beasts and monsters in art, film, science, literature and popular culture from the late nineteenth century to today. It examens humanity's highly charged relationship with primates and draws connections between debates about evolution, race, aesthetics and sex - from satirical cartoons of gorillas in Punch! to HR Hopp's famous World War One recruiting poster Destroy this mad brute: enlist, which shows Kaiser Wilhelm as a large ape. Many incarnations of the Beauty and the Beast tale in art and film unfold in Kiss of the Beast - from French artist Emmanuel Fremiet's sculptures of a gorilla carrying off a woman of 1859 and 1887, to the classic 1933 image o Fay Wray in the grip of King Kong. Early short films and animations; groundbreaking expeditionary documentaries; iconic 'monster' movies from 130s to 1950s Hollywood; and some of the many versions of the Kong story from America, Japan and Hong Kong are also featured. Kiss of the Beast: From Paris Salon to King Kong is richly illustrated with film stills from many famous big ape and monster movies - including King Kong, Frankenstein and Creature from the Black Lagoon - as well as posters, sculptures, painting, prints and rare books. This book was published in conjunction with 'Kiss of the Beast', an integrated exhibition and film program presented by the Australian Cinematheque, Queensland Art Gallery.

Subject: LANDSCAPES IN FILMS. AUSTRALIA; ANIMALS IN FILMS. AUSTRALIA; BABE (AT, Chris Noonan, 1995); HAPPY FEET (AT/US, George Miller, 2006); RED DOG (AT, Kriv Stenders, 2011)
Summary: In the most successful family films produced and directed by Australians in the last two decades, the Australian landscape and animals' roles in such spaces instruct young viewers how to navigate life in a postcolonial and explicitly multicultural nation. Through close textual readings of Babe, Happy Feet and Red Dog, coupled with analysis of official Australian government policy, this paper argues that the main animal characters deconstruct the paternal/ colonial Anglo - Celtic dominance through their interactions with their landscapes.

Summary: As indicated by the success of such films as March of the Penguins and Food, Inc., the documentary has become the preeminent format for rendering animals and nature onscreen. In Regarding Life, Belinda Smaill brings together examples from a broad array of moving image contexts, including wildlife film and television, advocacy documentary, avant-garde nonfiction, and new media to identify a new documentary terrain in which the representation of animals in the wild and in industrial settings is becoming markedly more complex and increasingly more involved with pivotal ecological debates over species loss, food production, and science. While attending to some of the most discussed documentaries of the last two decades, including Grizzly Man; Food, Inc.; Sweetgrass; Our Daily Bread; and Darwin’s Nightmare, the book also draws on lesser-known film examples, and is one of the first to bring film studies understandings to new media such as YouTube. The result is a study that melds film studies and animal studies to explore how documentary films render both humans and animals, and to what political ends. -- publisher's web site

Summary: The book focuses on two key 'sheep films': The Squatter's Daughter and Bitter Springs. Both movies are concerned with the national project, in which sheep growing and nation building are seamlessly aligned. But Verhoeven artfully demonstrates that it is precisely in their emphasis on textual re-iteration and repetition that the sheep films critique an otherwise ostensibly 'national' vision.
