What prompted these changes and how and when did this decolonisation of documentary film production occur? Taking a long historical perspective, this book is based on a study of a selection of Australian documentary films produced by and about Aboriginal peoples since the early twentieth century. The films signpost significant shifts in Anglo-Australian attitudes about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and trace the growth of the Indigenous filmmaking industry in Australia.
Used as a form of resistance to the imposition of colonialism, filmmaking gave Aboriginal people greater control over their depiction on documentary film and the medium has become an avenue to contest widely held assumptions about a peaceful colonial settlement. This study considers how developments in camera and film stock technologies along with filmic techniques influenced the depiction of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The films are also examined within their historical context, employing them to gauge how social attitudes, access to funding and political pressures influenced their production values. The book aims to expose the course of race relations in Australia through the decolonisation of documentary film by Aboriginal filmmakers, tracing their struggle to achieve social justice and self-representation. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781789974782Contents: Acknowledgements -- Cultural Warning and Acknowledgement -- Abbreviations -- Introduction -- Aboriginalities -- Media Ecology -- The Longue Durée -- Decolonising the Documentary Film in Australia -- Stages of the Journey -- Part I Exotic Subjects, 1901–1966 -- Chapter 1 The Last of Their Kind: Aboriginal Life in Central Australia (1901) -- Chapter 2 Physical Traits: Life in Central Australia (1931) -- Chapter 3 Benign and Iconic: Aborigines of the Sea Coast (1950) -- Chapter 4 The “Last” of Their Kind, Again: Desert People (1967) -- Part II Voices for Change, 1957–1972 -- Chapter 5 Not Dying Out Quietly: Warburton Aborigines (1957) -- Chapter 6 A Discomforting Assimilation: The Change At Groote (1968) -- Chapter 7 Challenging White Indifference: Ningla-A-Na (Hungry for Our Land) (1972) -- Part III Counting the Cost, 1978–1987 -- Chapter 8 Telling My Story My Way: My Survival As An Aboriginal (1978) -- Chapter 9 On Being Stolen: Lousy Little Sixpence (1983) -- Chapter 10 Picking Up the Broken Pieces: Link-Up Diary (1987) -- Part IV Digital Directors: Decolonising Documentary Film, 2002–2017 -- Chapter 11 Setting the Records Straight: Whispering in Our Hearts: The Mowla Bluff Massacre (2002) -- Chapter 12 The Sounds of Spaces Between: Willaberta Jack (2007) -- Chapter 13 Breaking the Drought at the Sydney Film Festival: We Don’t Need a Map (2017), Occupation Native (2017), In My Own Words (2017)and Connecting to Country (2017) -- Bibliography -- Index

Hearths of darkness : the family in the American horror film / Tony Williams Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, c2014.

KING, STEPHEN ; FAMILY IN FILMS ; HORROR FILMS. USA ; PSYCHO (US, Alfred Hitchcock, 1960) ; POLTERGEIST (US, Tobe Hooper, 1982) ; POLTERGEIST II: THE OTHER SIDE (US, Brian Gibson, 1986) ; NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (US, Wes Craven, 1984) ; TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, THE (US, Tobe Hooper, 1974) Summary: Hearths of Darkness traces the origins of the 1970s family horror subgenre
to certain aspects of American culture and classical Hollywood cinema. Far
from being an ephemeral and shortlived genre, horror actually relates to many facets of American history from its beginnings to the present day. Individual chapters examine aspects of the genre, its roots in the Universal horror films of the 1930s, the Val Lewton RKO unit of the 1940s, and the crucial role of Alfred Hitchcock as the father of the modern American horror film. Subsequent chapters investigate the key works of the 1970s by directors such as Larry Cohen, George A. Romero, Brian De Palma, Wes Craven, and Tobe Hooper, revealing the distinctive nature of films such as Bone, It’s Alive, God Told Me, Carrie, The Exorcist, Exorcist 2, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, as well as the contributions of such writers as Stephen King. Tony Williams also studies the slasher films of the 1980s and 1990s, such as the Friday the 13th series, Halloween, the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Nightmare on Elm Street, exploring their failure to improve on the radical achievements of the films of the 1970s.
After covering some post-1970s films, such as The Shining, the book concludes with a new postscript examining neglected films of the twentieth and early twenty-first century. Despite the overall decline in the American horror film, Williams determines that, far from being dead, the family horror film is still with us. Elements of family horror even appear in modern television series such as The Sopranos. This updated edition also includes a new introduction.-[taken from publishers site]Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 333-346) and indexISBN: 9781628461909Contents: Introduction: family assault in the American horror film -- Classical shapes of rage: universal and beyond -- Lewton or "the ambiguities" -- To Psycho and beyond: the Hitchcock connection -- Return of the native: the satanic assaults -- Far from Vietnam: the family at war -- Sacrificial victims -- Chain saw massacres: the apocalyptic dimension -- The return of Kronos -- Poltergeist and Freddy's nightmares -- The King adaptations -- Into the nineties -- Postscript.

This book explores its transformative potential historically across myriad cultures, particularly in relation to its ritual and mythmaking capacities, and its intersection with power, ideology and identity. All of these factors have a direct impact on mask-centric horror cinema: meanings, values and rituals associated with masks evolve and are updated in horror cinema to reflect new contexts, rendering the mask a persistent, meaningful and dynamic aspect of the genre’s iconography. This study debates horror cinema’s durability as a site for the potency of the mask’s broader symbolic power to be constantly re-explored, re-imagined and re-invented as an object of cross-cultural and ritual significance that existed long before the moving image culture of cinema. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781786834966Contents: Acknowledgements -- Introduction – Why Masks?
