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.
