Cinematic interventions: Women filmmakers and the reshaping of Australian cinema, 1990–2005
Australian women's filmmaking between 1990 and 2005 represents a distinct and formative chapter in the nation's cinema history. This period was marked by a surge of female-directed works that expanded the thematic, stylistic, and cultural scope of Australian film. Women filmmakers brought intersectional perspectives, complex female subjectivities, and greater visibility to multicultural, First Nations, and non-heterosexual narratives – developmen…
Gender Still Matters: Towards Sustainable Progress for Women in Australian Film and Television Industries
Gender then, gender now: Surveying women's participation in Australian film and television industries
In the Australian audiovisual industries, women are a minority of the personnel in a large number of key creative roles and have considerably lower representation than in the Australian workforce generally. Despite the decline in their participation across several fields, the under-representation of women is not being addressed by these industries. Using findings from current research that includes a major survey of Victorian activity, this artic…
The international reception of Australian women film-makers
Although women are a minority in key creative areas in Australia, they have played a major international role in relation to perceptions of Australian cinema and industry, and as creative talent within global cinema. This article outlines how Australian women have facilitated the global flow of film industry practitioners as they work with international money and talent, and exchange ideas through their films. It examines key patterns of the inte…
David Gulpilil, Aboriginal humour and Australian cinema
David Gulpilil is an iconic presence in Australian cinema from Roeg's Walkabout in the 1970s through Luhrmann's Australia (2008), and more recently, Catriona McKenzie's Satellite Boy (2011) and Rolf de Heer's Charlie's Country (2013). Much is made of him as a ubiquitous signifier of Australian cinema and his talent as an actor, but little attention has been paid to his own important project to engage in intercultural and intracultural dialogues w…
Passionate amateurs: The experimental film and television fund and modernist film practice in Australia
Most histories of the dynamism of the Australian film industry in the 1970s explore feature films, but a vital part of the creativity and energy of the revival occurred in the non-feature sector. A significant site of experimentation and originality in form, content and technique was the Experimental Film and Television Fund (EFTF). From its inception in 1970, The Australian Film Institute (AFI) managed the fund until 1977 when the Australian Fil…
Initial sequencing and analysis of the human genome
The human genome holds an extraordinary trove of information about human development, physiology, medicine and evolution. Here we report the results of an international collaboration to produce and make freely available a draft sequence of the human genome. We also present an initial analysis of the data, describing some of the insights that can be gleaned from the sequence.
