journal article		Australian cinema's dark sun in Studies in Australasian cinema (2010) vol.4 iss.1 p.23-41 Author: Ryan, Mark David PhysDes: Article Subject: HORROR FILMS. AUSTRALIA; INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA; FUNDING. AUSTRALIA; AUDIENCES. AUSTRALIA; WOLF CREEK (AT, Greg McLean, 2005) Summary: This article argues that the renaissance of Australian horror films in the 2000s has been driven by intersecting international market forces, domestic financing factors and technological change. It argues for two distinct tiers of production with different financing, production and distribution models. Notes: There has been a boom in Australian horror movie production in recent years. Daybreakers (2010), Wolf Creek (2005), Rogue (2007), Undead (2003), Black Water (2008), and Storm Warning (2006), among others, have all experienced varying degrees of popularity, mainstream visibility and cult success in worldwide horror markets. While Aussie horror’s renaissance is widely acknowledged in industry literature, there is limited research into the extent of the boom and the dynamics of production. Consequently, there are few explanations for why and how this surge has occurred. This article argues that the recent growth in Australian horror films has been driven by intersecting international market forces, domestic financing factors and technological change. In so doing, it identifies two distinct tiers of Australian horror film production: ‘mainstream’ and ‘underground’ production, though overlap between these two tiers results in ‘high-end indie’ films capable of cinema release. Each tier represents the high and low ends of Australian horror film production, each with different financing, production and distribution models. -- Abstract More info

AUSTRALIA; GOVERNMENT AID. AUSTRALIA; GOVERNMENT CONTROL, TV. AUSTRALIA; GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS. AUSTRALIA; LAW AND TV. AUSTRALIA; LEGISLATION. AUSTRALIA; PROGRAMME CONTENT. AUSTRALIA; PUBLIC BROADCASTING. AUSTRALIA; SPECIAL BROADCASTING SERVICE; STATE AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA Summary: "The life and works of 'Aunty', the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, continue to be the subject of public debate and often heated controversy, but they are seldom analysed in any depth. In this book Glyn Davis sets out to take the ABC apart, layer by layer, to reveal the contradictions in purpose and form which bedevil Australia's public broadcasting network. Emphasising the interplay between the ABC and its social and political context, Breaking Up the ABC subjects the recent internal reforms to careful scrutiny. Will these reforms end 'Aunty's' perennial difficulties? Or is the organisation doomed to permanent crisis? Can the corporation, as David Hill hopes, win back an audience and the political support crucial to its continuing existence? Having broken up the institution, how should the pieces be rearranged? This book offers new combinations to ensure the continuing viability of public broadcasting in Australia."--BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes list of abbreviations, bibliographic references and index -- cover illustration and design by John Windus ISBN: 0043370047 Donation: Donated by Mike Counihan More info
