AUSTRALIA Summary: "Ana Kokkinos is an Australian screenwriter, producer and director who has worked in film and television for almost thirty years. Best known for her fictional films - Antamosi, Only the Brave, Head On, The Book of Revelation and Blessed - her work is often bold and confrontational in its exploration of the alienation, estrangement and visceral distresses of those outside the mainstream. In the first major study of the director, Ana Kokkinos: An Oeuvre of Outsiders offers new readings of and across her fictional oeuvre by broadly tracing the deployment of the outsider as an organising motif." - taken from back cover.Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.

Head on: multicultural representations of Australian identity in 1990s national cinema in Studies in Australasian cinema (2007) vol.1 iss.1 p.61-78
Author: Bennett, James PhysDes: ArticleSubject: NATIONAL IDENTITY AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; MULTICULTURALISM AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA ; ETHNIC GROUPS IN FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; STRICTLY BALLROOM (AT, Baz Luhrmann, 1992) ; HEAD ON (AT, Ana Kokkinos, 1998) Summary: ...1990s Australian cinema provides a key site for the examination of Australian identity in multicultural terms. Drawing on the work of Ghassan Hage, Stuart Hall and Daniel Nourry, this article investigates how notions of Australian identity in a multicultural society are played out (and with) by Australian cinema in the 1990s. Particular attention is paid to Head on (Kokkinos, 1998) and Strictly ballroom (Lurhmann, 1992), as examples of different approaches to this issue. -- Taken from Abstract

Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) is Australia's most revered celebration of cinema. It is one of the world's oldest and most storied film festivals, continuously running since 1952. To commemorate MIFF’s 70th anniversary, Black Inc. has partnered with the festival to produce an exciting collection of essays on Melbourne-made cinema.
Melbourne has a long, rich and diverse film history. It was the city where the first ever feature-length film was screened in 1906 – The Story of the Kelly Gang. It was also the birthplace of classics like Monkey Grip, Ghosts … of the Civil Dead, The Castle and Mad Max, plus many fascinating shorts and experimental films. Melbourne on Film is both a celebration of filmmaking in Melbourne, and a tribute to the city’s unique creative history.
The first collection of its kind, it includes personal reflections on the legacy and influence of these key films by some of the city’s favourite writers, including Christos Tsiolkas, Sarah Krasnostein, John Safran, Osman Faruqi, Tristen Harwood and Judith Lucy. Melbourne on Film will be treasured by cinephiles and readers of intelligent essays on arts and culture. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781760643928
