Summary: "An interpretative methodology for understanding meaning in cinema since the 1950s, auteur analysis is an approach to film studies in which an individual, usually the director, is studied as the author of his or her films. The principal argument of this thesis is that proponents of auteurism have privileged examination of the visual components in a film-makers' body of work, neglecting the potentially significant role played by sound. The thesis seeks to address this problematic imbalance by interrogating the creative use of sound in the films written and directed Rolf de Heer, asking the question, "Does his use of sound make Rolf de Heer and aural auteur?" In so far as the term 'aural' encompasses everything in the film that is heard by the audience, the analysis seeks to discover if de Heer has, as Peter Wollen suggests of the auteur and her or his directing of the visual components (1968, 1972 and 1998), unconsciously left a detectable aural signature on his films. The thesis delivers an innovative outcome by demonstrating that auteur analysis that goes beyond the mise-en-scene (i.e. visuals) is productive and worthwhile as an interpretative response to film. De Heer's use of the aural point of view and binaural sound recording, his interest in providing a 'voice' for marginalised people, his self-penned song lyrics, his close and early collaboration with composer Graham Tardif and sound desinger Jim Currie, his 'hands-on' approach to sound recording and sound editing and his predilection for making films about sound are all shown to be examples of de Heer's aural auteurism. As well as the three published (or accepted for publication) interviews with de Heer, Tardif and Currie, the dissertation consists of seven papers refereed and published (or accepted for publication) in journals and internatiional conference proceedings, a literature review and a unifying essay. The papers presented are close textual analyses of de Heer's films which, when considered as a whole, support the thesis' overall argument and serve as comprehensive auteur analysis, the first such sustained study of his work, and the first with an emphasis on the aural.

Summary: Dancing to His Song, is the first comprehensive review of the work of Rolf de Heer, Australia's most prolific auteur, an idiosyncratic filmmaker famed for never repeating himself. Film by film, Jane Freebury searches for the sources of de Heer's inspiration and finds the secret to his success in an ethic of hard work, flexibility and self-reliance that meets challenges and obstacles with in genuity without ever losing sight of his vision. His remarkable career as an independent filmmaker has much to teach young producers and directors. [Taken from the back of the book]

Summary: " 'Dutch Tilt, Aussie Auteur: the Films of Rolf De Heer' is an auteur analysis of the twelve feature films directed (mostly written and produced) by Holland-born Australian Rolf De Heer. From the children's story about the restoration of a Tiger Moth biplane, "Tail of a Tiger "(1984), to his break-out cult sensation " Bad Boy Bubby" (1993) which "tore Venice apart," to the first Aboriginal Australian language film "Ten Canoes" (2006) which scooped the pool at the AFI awards and won the Special Jury prize at Cannes Film Festival, de Heer has been consistently unpredictable. However, Starr's close study of his work suggests that Australia's most innovative and respected Arthouse film-maker has a signature pre-occupation with giving a voice to marginalized, non-hyper-masculine protagonists. Demonstrating a propensity to write and direct in a European-like style, de Heer's "Dutch tilt" is very much non-mainstream Hollywood, but is nevertheless representative of a typically Australian world-view." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "Does a movie have the same impact as the novel on which it is based? Here are some of the stimulating - and occasionally surprising - answers to that question. This book is a follow-up to The Classic American Novel and the Movies, which ended in 1929, but it can be read on its own. [This book] covers novels and films from the 1930s to the 1970s, from Erskine Caldwell's Tobacco Road to James Dickey's Deliverance. In between, many film translations of notable novels are scrutinized - works by such authors as Faulkner, Hemingway, Steinbeck, McCullers, Nabokov, Updike, Kesey, and Vonnegut [...] Style, characterisation, theme, and ideology come under review. And we get behind-the-scenes insights into the actual filming of some celebrated novels. Of special value to scholars and students of film: extended filmographies by both author and film title of adaptations of American novels published between 1930 and 1975. In addition, there is a bibliography covering the same period, plus complete rental information on the films themselves." -- BOOK BLURB
