AUSTRALIA ; WOMEN, FILMS MADE BY. AUSTRALIA ; GRAIL FILM GROUP, THE ; SYDNEY FILMMAKERS CO-OPERATIVE ; INDONESIA CALLING (AT, Joris Ivens, 1948) ; MY BRILLIANT CAREER (AT, Gillian Armstrong, 1979) ; FRAN (AT, Glenda Hambly, 1985) Summary: Beyond the Silver Screen tells the history of women's engagement with filmmaking and film culture in twentieth-century Australia. In doing so, it explores an array of often hidden ways women in Australia have creatively worked with film. Beyond the Silver Screen examines film in a broad sense, considering feature filmmaking alongside government documentaries and political films. It also focuses on women's work regulating films and supporting film culture through organising film societies and workshops to encourage female filmmakers. As such, it tells a new narrative of Australian film history.
Beyond the Silver Screen reveals the variety of roles film has in Australian society. It presents film as a medium of creative and political expression, which women have engaged with in diverse ways throughout the twentieth century. Gender roles and gendered ideologies operating within society at large have influenced women's opportunities to work with film and how their filmwork is… -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780522871227

The lost child complex in Australian film : Jung, story and playing beneath the past / Terrie Waddell Abingdon, Oxon : New York: Routledge, 2019. Available at ProQuest (RMIT login required)

The films discussed in textual depth transcend literal lost in the bush mythologies, or actual cases of displaced children, to focus on vulnerable children renderedlost through government and institutional practices, and adult/parental characters developmentally arrested by comforting or traumatic childhood memories. The victory/winning fixation governing the USA – diametrically opposed to the lost child motif – is also discussed as a comparative example of the mesmerising nature of the cultural complex. Examining iconic characters and events, such as the Gallipoli Campaign and Trump’s presidency, and films such as The Babadook, Lion, and Predestination, this book scrutinises the way in which a culture talks to itself, about itself. This analysis looks beyond the melancholy traditionally ascribed to the lost child, by arguing that the repetitive and prolific imagery that this theme stimulates, can be positive and inspiring.
The Lost Child Complex in Australian Film is a unique and compelling work which will be highly relevant for academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian ideas, cultural studies, screen and media studies. It will also appeal to Jungian psychotherapists and analytical psychologists as well as readers with a broader interest in Australian history and politics. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781138939691

Ken Gelder's fascinating study begins by looking at Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula and Fran Rubel Kuzui's Buffy the Vampire Slayer - films that seemed for a moment to take vampire cinema in completely opposite directions. New Vampire Cinema then examines what happened afterwards, across a remarkable range of reiterations of the vampire that take it far beyond its original Transylvanian setting: the suburbs of Sweden (Let the Right One In), the forests of North America (the Twilight films), New York City (Nadja, The Addiction), Mexico (Cronos, From Dusk Till Dawn), Japan (Blood: The Last Vampire, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust), South Korea (Thirst), New Zealand (Perfect Creature), Australia (Daybreakers), and elsewhere. In a series of exhilarating readings, Gelder determines what is at stake when the cinematic vampire and the modern world are made to encounter one another - where the new, the remake and the sequel find the vampire struggling to survive the past, the present and, in some cases, the distant future." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781844574407

Reading the Vampire Slayer : the new, updated unofficial guide to Buffy and Angel / edited by Roz Kaveny London: Tauris Parke, 2004.
Call No: 79BUF REAAuthor: Kaveny, Roz (ed.) Edition: revisedSource: UK/USPlace: LondonPublisher: Tauris ParkePubDate: 2004PhysDes: xiv, 322 p. : ill. ; 20 cmSubject: SUPERNATURAL IN FILMS ; FANTASY FILMS ; HORROR FILMS ; BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (US, Fran Rubel Kuzui, 1992) ; BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER [TV] (US, 1997-2004) ; ANGEL [TV] (US, 1999-) Summary: "Reading the Vampire Slayer was much praised on its first appearance as the indespensible and accessible companion to Buffy and its spin-off series Angel. This radically expanded and revised new edition is the only book to explore the complete Buffy.
The editor's introduction now considers the themes and structures of the seven seasons of Buffy and the ways in which its final season rounded these off, as well as considering four seasons of Angel.
Updated and wholly new chapters consider California and Los Angeles as Hellscapes; the theme of personality and performance in both shows; the Angel uses non-traditional family structures as an emotional armature; the importance of space and of locations such as Buffy's home and school, Giles' Magic Shop and Angel's hotel. They follow the transgressive heterosexuality of Buffy's relationship with the vampire Spike and the knowing flirtation of the shows with a fan culture fascinated by subtextuality-implied lesbian and gay relationships between characters. New attention is paid to Buffy's controversially dark and adult sixth season and to the seventh and final one.
Reading the Vampire Slayer also provides a short episode guide to all seven seasons of Buffy and the first four seasons of Angel, as well as original interviews with Jane Epenson and Steven DeKnight, two of Buffy's top writers" -- BOOK BLURBISBN: 9781860649844Contents: -- acknowledgments, resources and contributors -- the regular, recurring or otherwise significant characters -- 1: she saved the world. a lot, an introduction to the themes and structures of Buffy and Angel.
