This book examines a wide range of Australian films to trace their Gothic resemblances, characteristics and meanings. By concentrating on the occurrence of Gothic motifs, characters, landscapes and narratives, it argues for the recognition and relevance of a coherent Gothic heritage in Australian film. A plethora of Gothic representatives are considered in relation to four consistent and illuminating continuities (images of the family, ideas of monstrosity, generic hybridity and the occurrence of the sublime), and this study debates the appearance and asserts the significance of Australian Gothic films within their national, cultural, literary and cinematic traditions. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781786838896Contents: List of illustrations -- Introduction -- Familiarity -- Monstrosity -- Hybridity -- Sublimity -- Conclusion -- Filmography -- Bibliography -- Index

The spectacle of Australian cinema in these essays suggests the transitional energies of a growing industry and the regional nuances of gender, place and culture. The book draws on a range of scholarly sources and an extensive filmography in investigating Australian cinema history in the latter twentieth century, and in highlighting recent trends in promotion of Australia as a film-production destinationISBN: 9781783085491Contents: Introduction: regional features -- Backtracks: landscape and identity.
