AUSTRALIA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; AUDIENCES ; AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA ; EXHIBITION ; EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA ; SOCIETY AND THE CINEMA Summary: "This is the first book to offer an in-depth examination of the history, operation, and growth of film festivals as a cultural phenomenon within Australia. Tracing the birth of film festivals in Australia in the 1950s through to their present abundance, it asks why film festivals have prospered as audience-driven spectacles throughout Australia, while never developing the same industry and market foci of their international fellows. Drawing on over sixty-years of archival records, festival commentary, interviews with festival insiders and ephemera, this book opens up a largely uncharted history of film culture activity in Australia.

Cinema, community and policy : contexts and pretexts for the Regional Cinema Program in New South Wales, Australia in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.3 p.377-394
Author: Crowe, Karen PhysDes: ArticleSubject: REGIONAL EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA ; CINEMAS. AUSTRALIA. STATE (NSW) ; AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA ; STATE AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA. NEW SOUTH WALES Summary: This article examines developments relating to regional cinema-going in the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW). It draws on research whose primary case studies comprise four campaigns to revitalize historic cinema spaces in country towns in NSW and the introduction in the late 1990s of a Regional Cinema Program (RCP) designed to promote and support such activity in that state. It examines some of the historic and political contexts that precipitated these projects and the adoption of their concerns by the NSW state government and will consider how claims for the social importance of cinema-going have been reflected and constructed through the practices and discourses of policy-making and place-making. In particular, the essay traces the adoption of regional cinema access as a policy concern of the NSW state government and the aspirations and operations of a ‘community cinema’ in the south-western NSW town of Tumut. In focusing on this case study the article explores the interconnected relationship between trends in social and cultural policy-making, rural revitalization, the social experience of cinema-going and their various roles in the complex and contested construction of a sense of ‘community’. -- Abstract

Cinema in a small state : distribution and exhibition in Adelaide at the coming of sound in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.3 p.299-313
Author: Walsh, Mike PhysDes: ArticleSubject: DISTRIBUTION. AUSTRALIA ; EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. TRANSITION SILENT-SOUND ; HISTORY OF EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA Summary: Most histores of Australian cinema have foregrounded film production but have little to say about film distribution and exhibition, which were more powerful sectors of the cinema industry in Australia. This study examines the distribution and exhibition of films in Adelaide's central business district and suburban circuits during the introduction of sound in 1928-29. In addition to analysing the impact of the new technology, this article looks at the way that film distribution in this period changed in response to a number of other factors including the switch to direct distribution, the rise of British production and the local politics of first-run exhibition competition. The article examines the structure of the city and suburban exhibition in Adelaide and demonstrates that any analysis of the industry's response to sound technologies must take into account intensely local factors in order to explain the ways that different compaines adopted varying industrial tactics during the diffusion of this new technology. -- Abstract

Exploiting the regional Queensland audience : Birch Carroll and Coyle's Wintergarden theatres, 1925-35 in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.3 p.333-351
Author: Cryle, Denis ; Johansen, Grace PhysDes: ArticleSubject: BIRCH CARROLL AND COYLE ; AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA ; EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA ; REGIONAL EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; ADVERTISING FOR FILMS. AUSTRALIA Summary: The authors examine the first decade of the Birch Carroll and Coyle consortium, focusing on its regional Wintergarden theatre chain and on its stated objective of bringing metropolitan sophistication to regional centres, in a period of industry optimism which coincided with the construction of its Wintergarden theatres throughout Queensland. The article draws on local print sources and interview material in order to explain and confirm the social appeal of cinema-going across a range of regional sites. The exploitation campaigns organized and coordinated by Birch Carroll and Coyle's regional and state managers in the midst of moral opposition, government regulation and press criticism, both before and after the advent of the talkies, is examined. Drawing extensively from industry journals of the period, the authors argue that press publicity, along with local stunts and staged events, formed an integral part of Birch Carroll and Coyle's concerted strategy to sell its Hollywood product and offset ongoing criticism within government and local communities. In conclusion, they examine the impact of the Depression on the industry in Queensland, including regional audiences, and assess its impact on Birch Carroll and Coyle's subsequent regional theatre publicity campaigns. -- Abstract

More than 'making do' : rethinking cinema attendance in regional and rural Australia in Studies in Australasian cinema (2011) vol.5 iss.1 p.7-17
Author: Aveyard, Karina PhysDes: ArticleSubject: AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA ; EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA ; DISTRIBUTION. AUSTRALIA Summary: Cinema is one of the most popular forms of cultural entertainment in contemporary rural Australia, yet very little is understood about film circulation, presentation and consumption in non-metropolitan locations. Despite a growing interest in the situation of rural cinema by film historians, scholars have been slow to engage with the detail and meaning of its more recent past. The preoccupation with the connections between cinema and contemporary modernity have tended to over-estimate the significance of the metropolitan and to obscure the diversity and richness of cinema-going practice in Australia. Drawing on analysis of national box office data and material from a microstudy conducted in the rural town of Merimbula on the far south coast of New South Wales, this article seeks to contribute to addressing this gap. It considers three key questions — Who is watching films at the cinema in rural Australia? Why are they watching? And what do these acts of consumption mean? -- Abstract

AUSTRALIA ; EXHIBITION ; INDUSTRY, FILM ; INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA Summary: "The workshop, whose edited proceedings are reprinted in this volume, was prompted by convenient accidents of place and time. Early in 2009, a mature-age student with a background in journalism asked me the rhetorical question: why was Australian cinema in decline? Pressed about the proposition contained in the question, the student pointed out that in the year 2008, only two feature films - Australia and Happy Feet - appeared to have a noticeable presence at the theatrical box office. In what has become an average figure for annual Australian production output, some 22 feature films had been released that year but only these two films seemed to have any impact so far as their marketing and audience visibility was concerned. But, of course, this view drastically simpifies the situation of what is occurring in Australian film distribution and exhibition and how that is impacting on film production. The fact is that we know little of how these elements currently operate so far as various sectors of the Australian cinema industry are concernerned. This prompted first thoughts about undertaking some form of investgation" -- IntroductionNotes: Edited proceedings of a workshop "...sponsored by Griffith University in conjunction with Screen Australia and held at the Griffith University Conservatorium of Music at South Bank in Brisbane." -- Introduction; Includes bibliographical referencesISBN: 9781921291708Contents: -- contributors -- introduction / Albert Moran -- Australia's film and television geography / Tom O'regan -- the plight of the Australian film: traditional distribution and exhibition and the search for alternatives / Cathy Overett -- marketing and the fate of locally produced films in Australian cinemas / Peter Mageros -- the shift to digital cinema disribution and exhibition: implications for the future of Australian films / Trish FitzSimons -- rethinking cinema going in regional and rural Australia / Karina Aveyard -- dvd rental exhibition : running an independent outlet / Andrew Leavold -- community targeted distribution and Cinema Ventures Ltd / Gil Scrine -- Screen Australia and Australian Screen Culture / Susan Ward -- roundtable discussion -- appendix a: workshop program -- appendix b: presentation slides -- Australia's film and television geography / Tom O'Regan -- b2: rethinking cinema going in regional and rural Australia / Karina Aveyard -- b3: Screen Australia and Australian Screen Culture / Susan Ward --

Rethinking distribution : developing the parameters for a micro-analysis of the movement of motion pictures in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.3 p.315-331
Author: Thorne, Ross PhysDes: ArticleSubject: HISTORY OF CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; DISTRIBUTION. AUSTRALIA ; CINEMAS. AUSTRALIA ; EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA Summary: Although there is a plethora of popular and academic literature on ‘cinema’ little, if any, explains the day-to-day management of getting films from the distributor to the cinema, from cinema to cinema, and from cinema back to the distributor. The author's discovery of a cache of historic film-hire documents, normally discarded after a couple of years, has thrown light on this aspect of micro-management of film distribution. From some 3,500 documents for the 1950s decade Ross Thorne has produced a database covering about 80 per cent of the films shown at one small-town cinema in New South Wales. Analysis of the database shows how complex cinema management was and how, up until the coming of television, the railways played a crucial role in the organization of the regional entertainment business. -- Abstract

Rural cinema audiences in South Australia in the 1930s in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.3 p.353-375
Author: Walker, Dylan PhysDes: ArticleSubject: HISTORY OF EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA ; DISTRIBUTION. AUSTRALIA ; AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA ; STATE AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA: SOUTH AUSTRALIA Summary: Very few South Australian local histories give any account of the ritual screening of films in local community halls and regional picture theatres. Given that the 1930s was a turbulent era for the exhibition industry, the survival of the rural picture show beyond the decade suggests that it played a significant role in local history. This article will discuss the distribution and exhibition of films in rural South Australia during the early 1930s and the impact of legislation on the small operators. It goes on to examine the cinema-going preferences of the mid-north town of Snowtown during two years from July 1933 to June 1935 and considers the factors other than taste that determined the popularity of a screening. -- Abstract

Sweet dreams : Queensland, sugar and the 1927 Royal Commission into the Moving Picture Industry in Studies in Australasian Cinema (2011) vol.5 iss.2 p.107 - 119

AUSTRALIA ; STATE AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA Summary: This article looks at how the 1927 Royal commission grappled with the financial viability of the local industry in a global marketplace. It examines the relationships between government support, cultural production, cultural consumption and national indentityNotes: The impetus for the 1927 Royal Commission into the Moving Picture Industry was the US film companies' `stranglehold' on the Australian film industry, the effects of which were perceived as undermining both Australian film businesses and Australian national identity. The Commissioners took evidence in seven Queensland towns, some quite small and isolated, with almost all exhibitors from these locations represented. This evidence constructs an in-depth picture of film business and consumption in regional Australia, as well as a social, cultural and economic portrait of the country on the cusp of the Great Depression. This article takes as its starting point the Commissioners' repeated comparison of the film industry and Queensland's sugar industry, and their suggestions that the film industry's problems could be solved by replicating the intervention and support given to the sugar industry by both State and Federal Governments. These references, the article argues, reveal the Commissioners' understanding of the film industry, and conjectures that these conceptualizations may still influence the way Australian films are watched today -- Abstract

Twice born : Dionysos Films and the establishment of a Greek film circuit in Australia in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.1 p.275-298
Author: Verhoeven, Deb PhysDes: ArticleSubject: HISTORY OF CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; DISTRIBUTION. AUSTRALIA ; EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA ; AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA ; ETHNIC GROUPS AND THE CINEMA Summary: From the late 1940s until the late 1970s Melbourne was home to a dynamic Greek cinema circuit made up of some 30 different inner-city and suburban venues operated by a handful of vertically integrated exhibition/distribution businesses. Dionysos Films was amongst the first Greek film exhibition/distribution companies to form in Australia and from 1949 until 1956 it operated with little significant competition, establishing the parameters for a diasporic Greek film circuit that stretched across regional and metropolitan Australia and into New Zealand. This article measures the shadow cast by Dionysos Films (and its charismatic proprietor Stathis Raftopoulos) over the history of Antipodean Greek film experiences and the implications that this neglected aspect of Australian and Greek film history has for our understanding of the national cinemas in both countries. -- Abstract

Author: Aveyard, Karina PhysDes: ArticleSubject: DIGITAL CINEMA ; DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION ; DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY. AUSTRALIA ; INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA ; NATIONAL FILM AND SOUND ARCHIVE ; EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA Summary: Australia is on the path to achieving a full-scale conversion to digital cinema exhibition probably within the next five to ten years. Despite early optimism that digitization could provide a catalyst for greater democratization of the Australian exhibition market by creating more opportunities for audiences to see independent and alternate films, this outcome now appears far from certain. The launch and ongoing roll-out of the international standard for digital exhibition, which is now firmly controlled by the major American studios, is intensifying, rather than diminishing, the market dominance of these media conglomerates and their local allies, the major Australian exhibition chains. Independent film exhibition and alternative presentation formats, on the other hand, are being pushed even further to the periphery by these increasingly centralized market forces. While independent and major exhibitors have historically coexisted, although at times in a somewhat uneasy relationship, the financial imperatives of digital cinema now threaten to drive many independent cinemas to the edge, and with them the ongoing diversity of cinema culture in Australia. Of particular concern is the late of independent theatres in regional and rural locations where many provide the only public screening opportunities within large geographic areas. This article outlines digital developments in Australia's commercial cinema industry within a national and international context, and in doing so considers the impact of digital exhibition technologies on Australia's independent cinema sector. -- AbstractNotes: Part of a special issue on digital cinema in Australia and New Zealand

AUSTRALIA ; VIEWERS. AUSTRALIA ; HOME EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA ; HOME EQUIPMENT ; HOME VIDEO. AUSTRALIA Summary: "This thesis is to serve as a history of the Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) in Australia. It has been done because while there are numerous histories relating to other aspects of Australian media, the history of the VCR itself remains little more than an aspect of narratives focused on other phenomena. This was done through extensive examination of discursive sources, such as popular magazines, newspapers and trade journals. By reading these publications over the course of several years, I have been able to identify several trends unfolding over time, noting how popular conceptions of the technology have changed. By comparing these with work done on the history of home video in other countries, it allows for a greater understanding of what is unique to Australia’s history with the VCR. Perhaps the most significant finding is that the idea of what a VCR can offer is perpetually changing. What began as a simple means to record and playback programmes from television broadcasts quickly became a key part of commercial film distribution fundamentally altered the way in which people experience their television sets. As such, a struggle for position by producers, distributors and consumers erupted, as it irrevocably changed media in Australia."
