AFTRS Library New Titles. On display 20th April to 4th May 2018: New eBooks

Between 2000 and 2015, Australian film and television has 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, 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.

Home, boundaries, identity, exile? What are they? Do they refer to the body, a community, a country, a time, an artistic expression, a place on the internet? Naficy presents a collection of essays examining these questions both in philosophical terms and in relation to film, music, cyberspace and life experience.
