Summary: "This book is, at one level, a selective history of Australian documentary film in the immediate post-war years. At another level it is a sketch of an internationalist progressive film culture in the same place and period. It examines some landmark films in Australian Film History and places these important works in an international context. In this work of film history Deane Williams proposes that, while these films have been understood as inferior remakes of "overseas" written, theatrical and filmic texts, these films are evidence of an Australian film culture that was a key participant in an international network of documentary practice and criticism."--BOOK JACKET.

Subject: INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA; OVERLANDERS, THE (UK, Harry Watt, 1946)
Summary: This article argues that Harry Watt's The overlandrs (1946), an Ealing Studios film shot in Australia, should be understood as an international film product, one with a foot in the post-war cultural histories of both Australia and Britain. In this sense the film requires different reading strategies to those used within a national cinema framework. The article resists 'settling' the account, or justifying the film's raison d'etre with respect to only one of nationalist discourse, arguing that a reliable and truthful account of The overlanders will always be a composite one. -- Abstract
