  • What Killed Australian Cinema & Why Is the Bloody Corpse Still Moving?
    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.

  • Ethnographic Film-Making in Australia: the First Seventy Years
    ETHNOGRAPHIC FILM-MAKING IN AUSTRALIA THE FIRST SEVENTY YEARS (1898-1968) Ian Dunlop Ethnographic film-making is almost as old as cinema itself.1 In 187 7 Edison, in America, perfected his phonograph, the world’s first machine for recording sound — on fragile wax cylinders. He then started experimenting with ways of producing moving pictures. Others in England and France were also experimenting at the same time. Amongst these were the Lumiere brothers of Paris. In 1895 they perfected a projection machine and gave the world’s first public screening. The cinema was born. The same year Felix-Louis Renault filmed a Wolof woman from west Africa making pots at the Exposition Ethnographique de l’Afrique Occidentale in Paris.2 Three years later ethnographic film was being shot in the Torres Strait Islands just north of mainland Australia. This was in 1898 when Alfred Cort Haddon, an English zoologist and anthro­ pologist, mounted his Cambridge Anthropological Expedition to the Torres Strait. His recording equipment included a wax cylinder sound recorder and a Lumiere camera. The technical genius of the expedition, and the man who apparently used the camera, was Anthony Wilkin.3 It is not known how much film he shot; unfortunately only about four minutes of it still exists. It is the first known ethnographic film to be shot in the field anywhere in the world. It is of course black and white, shot on one of the world’s first cameras, with a handle you had to turn to make the film go rather shakily around. The fragment we have shows several rather posed shots of men dancing and another of men attempting to make fire by friction.

  • Reviewing the Australian Film Industry
    CASE PROGRAM 2007-98.1 Reviewing the Australian film industry An indigenous film industry is not about the box office – the French value on culture, diversity, and the value of a mirror on society is a far more relevant model.1 John Maynard, Producer, Romulus My Father Australia is a strange place when it comes to film finance. It’s always been puzzling to me. You speak the same language, you’ve got great production facilities, you’ve got studios down there, you’ve got great locations, and you have some of the biggest stars, but when it comes to actually making movies for the international market, it rarely happens that you have an Australian producer who finances it using Australian money which hasn’t been subsided and makes it as an international film.2 Jared Underwood, Film financier Film investment is probably one of the riskiest investments and even if you go on to Hollywood, less than one in ten films actually go into a profit. Most of the world is independent film making and wherever you go, anywhere in Europe, there's always some sort of subsidy to support an independent film industry.3 Brian Rosen, Chief Executive, Film Finance Corporation After a renaissance in Australian film-making during the 1970s, by 2006 production levels had slumped to their lowest point since the early 1990s. Spending on television drama was in decline and foreign film production had plummeted dramatically from previous years. As private investment was dwindling, financing was increasingly in the hands of the Film This case was written by Marinella Padula, Australia and New Zealand School of Government, for Peter Thompson as a basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of a managerial situation.

  • Report on the Inquiry Into the Australian Film and Television Industry
    The Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia Report on the inquiry into the Australian film and television industry House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications and the Arts December 2017 Canberra © Commonwealth of Australia 2017 ISBN 978-1-74366-715-6 (Printed version) ISBN 978-1-74366-716-3 (HTML version) This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- NoDerivs 3.0 Australia License. The details of this licence are available on the Creative Commons website: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/au/. Chair’s foreword The Australian film and television industry plays an important role in telling the stories that help to foster our cultural identity and also makes a significant economic contribution to the nation. There are however significant technological changes and other issues impacting on its future growth and sustainability. On-demand platforms such as Amazon and Netflix have transformed the way Australians access their screen content. Cinema and television are no longer as dominant due to this audience disruption although they remain an important part of this industry. This inquiry was a timely examination of the policy settings that underpin our domestic screen industry including tax incentives and Australian content quotas. Direct funding by Screen Australia, international co-production treaties, and the foreign actor certification scheme were also reviewed. The committee has made 13 recommendations to government to help secure the future growth and sustainability of Australia’s screen industry. Tax offsets The current tax incentives for film and television were devised 10 years ago and include the producer, location and post, digital and visual effects (PDV) offsets.
