Tom O'Regan's book is the first of its kind on Australian post-war
cinema. It takes as its starting point Bazin's question 'What is
cinema?'and asks what the construct of a 'national' cinema means.
It looks at the broader concept from a different angle, taking film
beyond the confines of 'art' into the broader cultural world.
O'Regan's analysis situates Australian cinema in its historical and
cultural perspective producing a valuable insight into the issues
that have been raised by film policy, the cinema market place and
public discourse on film production strategies.
Since 1970 Australian film has enjoyed a revival. This book
contains detailed critiques of the key films of this period and
uses them to illustrate the recent theories on the international
and Australian cinema industries. Its conclusions on the nature of
the nation's cinema and the discourses within it are relevant
within a far wider context; film as a global phenomenon.
