Cultural Adaptation and Exchange
Review of: Cultural Adaptation and Exchange: Beyond Borders Kastellorizo International Documentary Festival
Thinking, recounting
Across its history, a crucial component in the formation and maintenance of film studies in Australia has been the local and international exchange of ideas and critical formations facilitated by film studies conferences. Arguably one of the most important events to influence the direction of film studies in Australia was the First Australian Screen Studies Association (ASSA) Conference held at La Trobe University, Melbourne in December 1982. Thi…

Australian Film Theory and Criticism
Essays from the inaugural Screen Studies Association of Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand conference (2016)
The essays gathered in this issue of Studies in Australasian Cinema are selected from, and broadly representative of, the methods and topics brought together at the inaugural SSAAANZ conference. Collectively, the essays speak to a broad conception of screen studies and diverse critical concerns across film and television exhibition and reception, documentary film, pedagogy and screen culture. Constantine Verevis and Deane Williams’ article analys…
Before and after Acmi
The 2002 opening of the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) in Melbourne reconfigured the State Film Centre of Victoria (SFCV) for a new millennial moment of cinema and media, and within the context of the new languages of post-production, media convergence, digitisation, and globalisation. This occasion, with its ongoing emphasis on immediacy and the future, urgently requires a substantial research project that looks backwards and forw…
Transnational Film Remakes
An in-depth exploration of film remakes within global media culture Bringing together a range of international scholars, Transnational Film Remakes is the first edited collection to specifically focus on the phenomenon of cross-cultural remakes. Using a variety of case studies, from Hong Kong remakes of Japanese cinema to Bollywood remakes of Australian television, this book provides an analysis of cinematic remaking that moves beyond Hollywood t…
Introduction
Film remakes are often dismissed within critical discourse as unoriginal, derivative and inferior to their source texts, yet this mode of critique takes on additional layers of meaning when films are remade transnationally as this process raises further issues surrounding national and/or ethnic identity and questions of cultural power. In order to investigate these kinds of complexities, this chapter focuses its attention on the phenomenon of tra…

Kangaroo
In October 1950, the Adelaide Advertiser ran an article titled “Hollywood Insists on Kangaroos” (page 7). The story begins: “If you’ve got—or know of—any kangaroos who would like to become movie actors, send them to Director Lewis Milestone, Port Augusta, South Australia. He needs them to play themselves in the 20th Century-Fox production Kangaroo.” The article continues, explaining that producer Robert Bassler was looking to secure at least 300 …
Stuart Henderson, The Hollywood Sequel
Film sequels have long been a mainstay for the Hollywood studios, a trend that continues to the present day, with each of 2016’s three highest-grossing films (in both US domestic and international markets) – Captain America: Civil War, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Finding Dory – in some way extending, or sequelizing, previous properties. Yet despite the ubiquity and market dominance of sequels, it is only in recent years that academic scholar…
Whose side are you on?’ The Slap (2011/2015)
Based on the best-selling 2008 novel by Christos Tsiolkas, the eight-part Australian television mini-series, The Slap (Matchbox Pictures, 2011), generated widespread local interest when it premiered nationally on ABC1 television. An ensemble drama, The Slap follows the repercussions of a fateful moment at a suburban barbecue in multicultural Melbourne when an angry adult slaps a misbehaving child that is not his own (but who, arguably, may have d…

Dead on arrival
In the late 1960s, producer-entrepreneur Reg Goldsworthy brought American television director Eddie Davis to Australia to make three feature films, It Takes All Kinds (1969), Color Me Dead (1969) and That Lady from Peking (1970). The second of these, Color Me Dead, was a direct (credited) remake of the film noir classic D.O.A. (Maté, 1949). Discarding the flashback structure of the original, Color Me Dead begins with an atmospheric night-sequence…
Australian International Pictures
Australian International Pictures examines the concept and definition of Australian film in relation to a range of local, international and global practices and trends that blur neat categorisations of national cinema. Although international co-production is particularly acute in the present day, this book examines the porous nature of Australian International filmmaking, and the intriguing transnational and cross-cultural formations created by g…

By tracing some key critical positions, personnel and institutions, it provides an account of the state of contemporary Australian film studies. The article falls into three parts.
