Summary: This article offers a reconsideration of the films and career of Ray Lawrence, a critically acclaimed Australian director whose most recent film Jindabynewas a national and international successes in 2006. Although to date his output consists of just three feature films completed since 1985, Lawrence's work can be seen to embody, unite and typify several disparate ideals, debates and tendencies present within Australian film-making over the past twenty years. -- Abstract

Summary: “Drawing on concepts of shock, memory and national maturity, ‘Australian Cinema after Mabo’ asks what part Australian cinema plays in reviewing our colonial past. It looks at how the 1992 Mabo decision, which overruled the nation’s founding myth of terra nullius, has changed the meaning of landscape and identity in Australian films, including The Tracker, Rabbit-Proof Fence, Moulin Rouge, The Castle, Cunnamulla, Looking for Alibrandi and Japanese Story amongst many others.” (back cover)

Summary: Mainly about the fortunes of the Australian film industry in 2005, in comparison to the earlier years in the decade. Some interesting stats on The Bank which shine a light on the importance of DVD sales and TV sales on top of Box Office.
Notes: accessed from: Factiva. Dow Jones Reuters Business Interactive LLC. RMIT University Library. (14 May 2007).
Quotations: -- Assessing the precise value of these additional revenue streams is difficult, but they are important. The experience of the 2001 film The Bank is instructive. Like several of this year's movies, this financial thriller earned about $2.6 million during its original box-office run, which means that about 260,000 Australians saw it on the big screen. But after being released on home formats, and screen on pay and free-to-air TV, its total audience has built to more than 3 million, according to director Robert Connolly.; -- This "accured interest" suggests that the theatrical release can account for less than 10 per cent of a film's eventual audience reach. "My suspicion is that because of the cost of a movie ticket people are increasingly going to the the cinema to see spectable and choosing to see Australian films at home," says Connolly, who also directed Three Dollars. Still, for most films it is the success, however measured, of the theatrical release that largely determines its subsequent fate in other formats, making a strong splash in cinemas just as critical as ever.

Summary: Lantana is now studied by Year 12 English students. While the film deals with adult lives in crisis that may seem removed from the experience of high school students, Lantana blends family melodrama with a murder mystery. This text invites speculation as to whodunnit and explores the film's moral complexities.
