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: A commercially successful Australian director of over eighteen feature films and documentaries, including My Brilliant Career (1979), Gillian Armstrong is an early, notable example of a woman director connecting with mass audiences. Armstrong’s films are unique in their aesthetic expression and in the ethical relationships that they depict, framed through the language of gender inclusivity and due in part to her foregrounding of original, complex and nuanced female characters. This important book fills a gap in the literature on women screen practitioners and is a long overdue response to demands for new insight into the work of this significant director.

Summary: The ScreenSound Australia Annual Longford Lyell Lecture was established in 2001. It is named in honour of two significant pioneers of Australian cinema, Lottie Lyell and Raymond Longford, who were the foremost creative partnership in the pioneering years of Australian cinema. Jan Chapman is one of Australia’s most famous producers having been involved in the production of ‘Come in Spinner’, ‘Sweet and Sour’, ‘the Piano’ and ‘Lantana’ to name but a few. Chapman talks about the development of her career in relation to other Australian women involved in filmmaking such as Gillian Armstrong and New Zealand born Jane Campion
