Australian Film Theory and Criticism, Vol. 1 : Critical Positions
By Deane Williams and Constantine Verevis and Noel King
With a preface by Patrice Petro
Synopsis: Tracing critical positions, people, and institutions across this influential period, a roster of distinguished contributors examine a multitude of books and journal articles published in Australia and distributed internationally. At the same time, they offer important insights about the origins of Australian film theory and its relationship to such related disciplines as art history, performance art, and digital media discourses. Ultimately, Australian Film Theory and Criticism, Volume 1 delineates the historical implications – and reveals the future possibilities – of establishing new directions of inquiry for film studies in Australia and internationally.
