Description

Australian National Cinema by Tom O'Regan explores the concept of a 'national' cinema, examining how film reflects and shapes cultural identity. Drawing on historical and cultural perspectives, O'Regan situates Australian post-war cinema within its broader context, revealing insights into film policy, industry trends, and public discourse. The book provides detailed critiques of key films from the 1970s revival, using them to illustrate recent theories on international and local cinema industries. By examining these films and their discourses, O'Regan sheds light on the nature of Australia's national cinema and its place within a global film landscape. This analysis offers valuable perspectives for understanding the complex relationships between culture, industry, and public discourse in the context of Australian post-war cinema.
