Beyond the Silver Screen tells the history of women's engagement
with filmmaking and film culture in twentieth-century Australia. In
doing so, it explores an array of often hidden ways women in
Australia have creatively worked with film. Beyond the Silver
Screen examines film in a broad sense, considering feature
filmmaking alongside government documentaries and political films.
It also focuses on women's work regulating films and supporting
film culture through organising film societies and workshops to
encourage female filmmakers. As such, it tells a new narrative of
Australian film history. Beyond the Silver Screen reveals the
variety of roles film has in Australian society. It presents film
as a medium of creative and political expression, which women have
engaged with in diverse ways throughout the twentieth century.
Gender roles and gendered ideologies operating within society at
large have influenced women's opportunities to work with film and
how their filmwork is recognised. Beyond the Silver Screen shows
women's sustained involvement with film is best understood as
political and cultural action.
