    What Killed Australian Cinema & Why is the Bloody Corpse Still Moving? A Thesis Submitted By Jacob Zvi for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Health, Arts & Design, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne © Jacob Zvi 2019 Swinburne University of Technology All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. II Abstract In 2004, annual Australian viewership of Australian cinema, regularly averaging below 5%, reached an all-time low of 1.3%. Considering Australia ranks among the top nations in both screens and cinema attendance per capita, and that Australians’ biggest cultural consumption is screen products and multi-media equipment, suggests that Australians love cinema, but refrain from watching their own. Why? During its golden period, 1970-1988, Australian cinema was operating under combined private and government investment, and responsible for critical and commercial successes. However, over the past thirty years, 1988-2018, due to the detrimental role of government film agencies played in binding Australian cinema to government funding, Australian films are perceived as under-developed, low budget, and depressing. Out of hundreds of films produced, and investment of billions of dollars, only a dozen managed to recoup their budget. The thesis demonstrates how ‘Australian national cinema’ discourse helped funding bodies consolidate their power. Australian filmmaking is defined by three ongoing and unresolved frictions: one external and two internal. Friction I debates Australian cinema vs. Australian audience, rejecting Australian cinema’s output, resulting in Frictions II and III, which respectively debate two industry questions: what content is produced? arthouse vs.

  • 1 Authorship and the Films of David Lynch
    1 Authorship and the Films of David Lynch: Aesthetic Receptions in Contemporary Hollywood. Antony Todd. London, New York: I.B. Tauris, 2012 (224 pages). ISBN: 9781848855809. A Review by Deborah Mellamphy, University College Cork The death of Andrew Sarris in 2012 resurrected debates surrounding the importance and role of authorship in contemporary film theory and, despite the growth of industry studies and the dominance of poststructuralism and postmodern theory in recent years, the popularity of auteur studies continues to grow. The inherent reductionism of the auteur approach has justifiably led to the rejection of the strictly romantic ideal of the author genius and a revision of the auteur’s image and role, yet the auteur continues to be relevant within contemporary film production and culture. Recent studies including Lucy Fischer’s Body Double: The Author Incarnate in the Cinema (2012), Arved Ashby’s Popular Music and the New Auteur: Visionary Filmmakers After MTV (2013), and Cecilia Sayad’s Performing Authorship: Self- Inscription and Corporeality in the Cinema (2013) illustrate the continuing scholarly significance of auteur debates within contemporary cinema and media. Discussions on David Lynch as auteur are not new. Since the release of Eraserhead (1976), scholars have considered his highly idiosyncratic cinema in terms of auteur theories. Erica Sheen and Annette Davison’s The Cinema of David Lynch: American Dreams, Nightmare Visions (2004), Todd McGowan’s The Impossible David Lynch (2007), and Justus Nieland’s David Lynch (2012) have all focused on the director’s personal vision. Antony Todd locates his study, Authorship and the Films of David Lynch: Aesthetic Receptions in Contemporary Hollywood, within a paradigm that acknowledges the limitations of the romanticised view both of the auteur, and of Lynch, whilst simultaneously acknowledging the importance of the figure.

Data Sheet: The Straight Story 47 Appendix 3. Selected Chronology 48 3 INTRODUCTION The road has been an enduring icon of American history and culture from the accounts of the first settlers to present-day literature, including frontier narratives. The nation was built upon social and spatial mobility: the American dream about prosperity and improvement was accompanied by the long quests for a home of natives, pilgrims, settlers, pioneers, slaves or immigrants. This mixture gave birth to a particular sense of stability and independence that has stuck to American society. In that way, the conceptions of “identity” and “self-discovery” are almost inseparable from that of “journey”, as if the ultimate internal and social voyage could only be achieved through a physical one, in Ronald Primeau‟s words: “[w]hereas most travelers of old in pilgrimages or quest romances moved with deliberation toward goals, Americans were nomadic in their trust that the power of movement itself would bring happiness, success, and fulfillment” (18).

Les films de Lynch que l’on pourrait qualifier de hollywoodiens, à savoir les commandes produites par des maisons de production hollywoodiennes — Elephant Man (1980) par Brooks Films, Dune (1984) par De Laurentis —, ne traitent pas de Hollywood et ne se déroulent pas aux Etats-Unis, tandis que les films suivants — Blue Velvet (1986), Wild at Heart (1990) et Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992) — se concentrent sur le middle America.

  • Bringing Vinyl Into the Digital Domain: Aesthetics in David Lynch’S Inland Empire (2006)
    LIZ GREENE Bringing vinyl into the digital domain: Aesthetics in David Lynch’s Inland Empire (2006) ABSTRACT KEYWORDS This article will focus on the aesthetic choices made by David Lynch informed by David Lynch both old and new technology in Inland Empire. Considering Lynch’s new Inland Empire digital cinematic practice this article will highlight the merits and pitfalls of this digital new approach to the soundtrack and outline how it is incorporated into Lynch’s film sound aesthetics. Utilising theories of Slavoj Zˇ izˇek, Michel Chion and Lesley Stern, noise I will outline how Lynch consciously uses sounds of the past to play with our technology concepts of diegetic time and space. Within the filmmaking process, I suggest, he performance has also captured the sounds of the machinery, which creates a new sound to add Hollywood to his eerie catalogue of soundscapes. This article will draw from Lynch’s earlier collaborations with the sound designer Alan Splet onwards, and assess the evolution in Lynch’s sound style. I have conducted an interview with Lynch who discusses his collaborative process and use of sound/noise in Inland Empire and I outline here how this informs his overall aesthetic choice. The New Soundtrack 2.2 (2012): 97–111 DOI: 10.3366/sound.2012.0032 # Edinburgh University Press www.eupjournals.com/SOUND 98 Liz Greene ‘From Hollywood, California, where stars make dreams and dreams make stars.’ – Announcer (William H.
