It is 1953, when boys still began training for religious orders in their early teens. Tom is constantly in trouble – for wetting his bed, showering in the nude, being late. He spends long hours in the chapel, praying for guidance, but his impure thoughts terrify him. The priests and brothers who teach him struggle with their own desires, and argue about the need for repressive discipline. Most of them, staff and boys, have doubts about their vocation. Through the loneliness, fear and shame, Tom begins to ponder his future. --Australian Screen website.Notes: DAVID1430Contents: Special features: Exclusive new widescreen telecine transfer -- DVD cover.; Featurette with director Fred Schepisi and key cast and crew; Interview with Fred Schepisi; Stills gallery; Theatrical trailer.Technical Details: PAL ; All regions.Credits: Producer/director: Fred Schepisi.Standard Number: 3000000070123Performer: Arthur Dignam, Nick Tate, Simon Burke.

Fred Schepisi : interviews / edited by Tom Ryan Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, c2017.
Call No: 81SCH FREAuthor: Ryan, Tom (ed.) Source: USPlace: JacksonPublisher: University Press of MississippiPubDate: c2017PhysDes: xxxvi, 200 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmSeries: Conversations with filmmakers seriesSubject: FILM ; AUSTRALIA ; SCHEPISI, FRED ; DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND (AT, Fred Schepisi, 1976) ; BARBAROSA (US, Fred Schepisi, 1982) ; EVIL ANGELS (AT, Fred Schepisi, 1988) ; LAST ORDERS (UK, Fred Schepisi, 2001) ; IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY (US, Fred Schepisi, 2003) Summary: In the New Yorker, Stephen Schiff has described Fred Schepisi (b. 1939) as "probably the least-known great director working in the mainstream American cinema--a master storyteller with a serenely muscular style that can make more flamboyant moviemakers look coarse and overweening." Schepisi's launch in Australia during the country's film renaissance of the 1970s and his ongoing international work have rightfully earned him a reputation as an actors' director. But he has also become a skillful stylist, forging his own way as he works alongside a talented team of collaborators.
This volume includes twenty interviews with Schepisi and two with longtime collaborators, cinematographer Ian Baker and composer Paul Grabowsky. The interviews trace the filmmaker's career from his beginnings in advertising, through his two early Australian features--The Devil's Playground and The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith--to his subsequent work in the United States and beyond on films as various as Plenty, Roxanne, A Cry in the Dark, The Russia House, Six Degrees of Separation, Empire Falls, Last Orders, and Eye of the Storm. Schepisi's films are diverse thematically and visually. In what is effectively a master class on film direction, Schepisi discusses his creative choices and his work with actors and collaborators behind the scenes. In the process, he provides a goldmine of insights into his films, his filmmaking style, and what makes him tick as an artist." -- BOOK BACK COVERNotes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references and index; Includes filmography; Also published electronicallyISBN: 9781496811479Contents: -- foreword by Gillian Armstrong -- introduction -- chronology -- filmology -- Fred Schepisi / Sue Mathews (1984) -- Devil's playground: an interview with Fred Schepisi / Brian McFarlane ( 2015) -- Playboy interview: Fred Schepisi / Rennie Ellis (1982) -- Fred Schepisi: the Australian director talks about his new controversial film, Barbarosa / Michael Sragow (1982) -- Altered states in The great white north / James Verniere (1983) -- Fred Schepisi: taking Hollywood by drizzle / David Edelstein (1984) -- Man of plenty / Brent Lewis (1985) -- Man of plenty / David Stratton (1986) -- Dialogue on film: Fred Schepisi / American film (1987) -- The making of Evil angels: director Fred Schepisi talks about private moments, public realities and dingoes / Philippa Hawker (1988) -- The man Meryl Streep trusts / Rennie Ellis (1989) -- Fred Schepisi / Peter Malone (1998) -- Fred Schepisi: pushing the boundaries / Scott Murray (1990) -- A cinematic gallant / Stephen Schiff (1993) -- Last orders: an interview with Fred Schepisi / Cynthia Fuchs ( 2001) -- Fred Schepisi on last orders / Tom Ryan (2001) -- Fred Schepisi on It runs in the family / Tom Ryan (2003) -- Shooting dialogue as action: an interview with Fred Schepisi / Fincina Hopgood ( 2011) -- All against one and one against all: Fred Schepisi's outsiders / Dan Callahan (2014) -- Fred Schepisi on making movies, "what I'm most interested in 'always" is the humanity of the piece" / Tom Ryan ( 2015) -- appendicies -- planning and problem solving : an interview with Ian Baker / Tom Ryan (2016) -- key notes: an interview with Paul Grabowsky / Tom Ryan (2016) -- additional resources -- index --

Drawing on many popular and some lesser known films from around the world, Christopher Falzon introduces students to key areas in philosophy, like: Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy, The Theory of Knowledge, The Self and Personal Identity, Critical Thinking.
Perfect for beginners, this book guides the reader through philosophy using illuminating cinematic works, like Avatar, Inception, Fight Club, Wings of Desire, Run Lola Run, A Clockwork Orange, Blade Runner, Dirty Harry and many other films.
The fully revised and updated Third Edition features: an expanded introduction that provides a new discussion of the relationship between film and philosophy; new material on notable philosophers such as Aristotle, Merleau-Ponty and Rawls; and coverage of new topics like virtue ethics and what Socrates offers for critical thinking. An updated glossary, references and bibliography, and a filmography, are also included in the Third Edition. -- publisher's web siteNotes: Includes glossaryISBN: 9780415538169Contents: Preface -- Introduction -- 1 - Plato’s Picture Show - the theory of knowledge -- 2 - All of Me - the self and personal identity -- 3 - Crimes and Misdemeanors - moral philosophy -- 4 - Antz - social and political philosophy -- 5 - Modern Times - society, science, and technology -- 6 - The Holy Grail - critical thinking -- Further Reading -- Glossary -- Bibliography -- Filmography -- Index

In exploring the relationship between cinematic representation and educational history, Josephine May shows how numerous Australian feature and documentary films offer access to powerful vernacular imaginings about school education in Australia. May argues that the cinematic school is a pervasive metaphor for the Australian nation. She demonstrates that, while Australian films about schooling have consistently commented on the relationship of schooling to the Australian class structure, they also increasingly explored gender, race and ethnicity at school, especially after the 1970s. From then on the egalitarian dream of school education and the nation’s capacity to generate meaningful futures for the young became increasingly contested. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9783034306324
