Or avocados? During the heady years of tax incentives and 10BA it didn't much matter to Australian investors where they put their surplus funds. For the Australian film industry, booming after the creative revival of the 1970s, the next decade became one of confusion and controversy. In THE AVOCADO PLANTATION, David Stratton gives us a comprehensive look at the making of 270 film features between 1980 and 1990. He discusses the big name attractions - GALLIPOLI, THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER, MAD MAX 2, CROCODILE DUNDEE, MAN OF FLOWERS, SWEETIE - and a host of lesser known films. Adventure films, horror films, love stories, comedies, they're all here: the smash hits, the turkets and the quality movies appreciated by discerning audiences. Stratton tells the behind-the-scenes stories of how the films were made - or in some casxes, un-made. He talks with directors such as Peter Weir, George Miller and Paul Cox, as well as producers, writers, actors, and crew members. Their reflections and revelations form a major part of THE AVOCADO PLANTATION." [Taken from book jacket]Notes: Includes indexISBN: 0732902509LON: 7520974Donation: Simon WincerID2: 255

It reworks Pasolini's landmark concept of 'the cinema of poetry' to look at the transformation of film form in its encounter with society, the sacred, the subjective and the presence of the camera. In the 1970s, the influential forms of a cinema of poetry are analysed in key features by Altman, Herzog, Malick, Scorsese, Weir, Von Trotta and Tarkovsky while in the 1980s and 1990s the emergence of new filmmakers has meant a diffusion of different cinemas of poetry using new techniques and new poetries. Of key importance here is the work of Kieslowski, Lynch, Egoyan, Campion, Greenaway, Zhang Yimou, Tran Anh Hung and Wong Kar-Wai, as well as the reinvention of science fiction and film noir in American genre."

At the core of most of his films and at the least peripheral to all of them is the idea of the outsider trying - and ultimately failing - to come to terms with a culture vastly different from his own. Weir, a native of Australia whose name was synonymous with Australian cinema in the 1970s, turned to American filmmaking in the 1980s and never looked back. In Peter Weir: When Cultures Collide, Marek Haltof traces Weir's journey from intensely Australian filmmaker to successful Hollywood director, along the way finding surprisingly consistent evidence of Weir's thematic and visual interests despite dramatic changes in his choices of story and localeNotes: Filmography: p. 158-167; Includes bibliographical references (p. 139-157) and indexISBN: 0805792449 (paper : alk paper); 0805778438 (cloth : alk paper)Order Received: 1997LON: 96027580; 12664203

Drawing on contemporary concepts from transnational cinema studies, this book investigates Weir's entire three-decade career, paying particular attention to his journey from his native Sydney, with its largely auteur-driven national cinema, to the miltimillion-dollar Hollywood film industry with its many genre conventions. Along the way, the author explores a host of questions accompanying this move, including Weir's status as a transnational filmmaker and a more generalised discussion of the critically controversial idea of the auteur. Rounding out this volume are interviews with leading Hollywood filmmakers who discuss Weir's work."-BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 173-193) and filmography (p. 195-202)ISBN: 9781841504773Contents: -- acknowldegments -- Introduction -- Migrations and transnationalism in the cinema -- Perspectives on Peter Weir -- Australian production context in the 1970s and early 1980s -- Peter Weir's four key steps from Australia to Hollywood -- Conclusions -- Bibliography -- Appendix 1: Filmography - main credits -- Appendix 2: Films made in Hollywood by Australian directors --URL status: URL: 'https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/rmit/detail.action?docID=1069409'

Although Weir (b. 1944) has acquired a reputation of being guarded about his life and work, these interviews by archivists, journalists, historians, and colleagues reveal him to be a most amiable and forthcoming subject. [...] Interviews discuss Weir's diverse and impressive range of work - his earlier films 'Picnic at Hanging Rock', 'The Last Wave', 'Gallipoli', and 'The Year of Living Dangerously', as well as Academy Award-nominated 'Witness', 'Dead Poets Society', 'Green Card', 'The Truman Show', and 'Master and Commander'. This book confirms the trajectory of Weir's life and work parallels and embodies Australia's quest to define and express a historical and cultural identity." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes chronology and filmography for Peter Weir's work; includes indexISBN: 9781617038976Contents: Foreword by David Thomson -- Introduction: "unmet friends": encounters with Peter Weir -- Chronology -- Filmography -- Peter Weir: reclaiming a Sydney boyhood: John C.
