This book provides coverage of the diversity of Australian film
and television production between 2000 and 2015. In this period,
Australian film and television have been transformed by new
international engagements, the emergence of major new talents and
a movement away with earlier films’ preoccupation with what it
means to be Australian. With original contributions from leading
scholars in the field, the collection contains chapters on
particular genres (horror, blockbusters and comedy), Indigenous
Australian film and television, women’s filmmaking, queer cinema,
representations of history, Australian characters in
non-Australian films and films about Australians in Asia, as well
as chapters on sound in Australian cinema and the distribution of
screen content. The book is both scholarly and accessible to the
general reader. It will be of particular relevance to students
and scholars of Anglophone film and television, as well as to
anyone with an interest in Australian culture and creativity.
