journal article		Outward-looking Australian cinema in Studies in Australasian cinema (2010) vol.4 iss.3 p.199-214 Author: Goldsmith, Ben PhysDes: Article Subject: INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA; PRODUCTION DEALS. AUSTRALIA; DISTRIBUTION. AUSTRALIA; NATIONAL CULTURE AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA Summary: The writer examines how dynamic and shifting relations between the local/national and the international have transformed the ways in which people think about what constitutes Australian cinema. Noting that over the last 20 years or so, Australian cinema's international relations in production and policy have expanded and become more complex, while those with Hollywood have been transformed, he illustrates how relations of commonality and continuity with the international called up in the new arrangements challenge the dominant articulation in policy of difference from other kinds of filmmaking as the basis of Australian cinema. -- Provided by publisher More info

journal article		Queer Asian Australian migration : creative film co-production and diasporic intimicy in The home song stories in Studies in Australasian cinema (2008) vol.2 iss.3 p.229-243 Author: Yue, Audrey PhysDes: Article Subject: PRODUCTION DEALS. AUSTRALIA; ASIANS IN FILMS. AUSTRALIA; ADVERTISING FOR FILMS; PRODUCTION DEALS. AUSTRALIA; SEXUALITY AND THE CINEMA; HOME SONG STORIES, THE (AT, Tony Ayres, 2007) Summary: This paper examines Tony Ayres' recent film, The Home Song Stories (2007) using the framework of queer Asian Australian migration. First, queer migration is critically considered through the minor transnationalism of its co-production. Evaluating the marketing of the film in Singapore and Australia, this article shows how Chinese ethnicity is deployed as exclusive and inclusive to enable different tactics of queer mobility and how these tactics are incorporated by different film policies to fulfil competing national aims. Second, this article considers the queer mobility of diasporic intimacy. Diasporic intimacy disrupts the regulation of queer migration and shows how the private domains of memory, family and sexuality are reconstituted in the transnational Chinese diaspora. The framework of queer Asian Australian migration describes the non-normative migration of Asians to Australia, the disjunctive flows of mobility that constitute the Asian diaspora in Australia, as well as the regulation of non-normative Asian Australian migration in national symbolic and institutional economies. The framework of queer Asian Australian migration, this article argues, provides a theoretical platform to critically consider the transnationality of Asian Australian cinema. -- Abstract Notes: Part of Special Issue: Transnational Asian Australian Cinema, part 2 More info
journal article		Secret lives of Asian Australian cinema : offshore labour in transnational film industries in Studies in Australasian cinema (2008) vol.2 iss.3 p.213-227 Author: Labato, Ramon PhysDes: Article Subject: INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA; PRODUCTION ASIA; PRODUCTION DEALS. AUSTRALIA; ASIANS AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA; FILM WORKERS Summary: This article examines some of the material dimensions of Asian Australian cinema through an analysis of selected regional production and post-production flows since 1980, and the debates surrounding them. It begins with a theoretical discussion of the role of labour within the global film industry, before moving on to consider controversies around the offshoring of film production to lower-cost destinations. Specific examples of production relays between Asia and Australia are analysed in the context of models of cultural labour offered by Toby Miller et al. and Ben Goldsmith. The author proposes a definition of Asian Australian cinema that seeks to attend to cross-border collaboration at a variety of levels and to render visible ‘below-the-line’ Asian Australian interfaces that do not necessarily register on screen. -- Abstract Notes: Part of Special Issue: Transnational Asian Australian Cinema, part 2 More info
