A 35 year old, high achieving Aboriginal woman, Mattie (Tammy Clarkson) has just received a PHD in Cultural Anthropology. She races to share the news with her estranged white father, Jack, (Craig McLachlan) who she hasn’t seen in 19 years. She wants to gloat. She wants to thank him for leaving her Aboriginal Mother Patricia (Kylie Belling) and herself when she was ten years old. His decision made many changes to Mattie and Patricia’s life. First off, Mattie hated the fact that she was black, she thought this is why Jack left. But Mattie found no worth in hating herself and decided that her hatred would become a great motivator and used it to drive herself to succeed. And she did. She makes the call, asks for Jack and a man comes to the phone. She lets loose, thinking that she is talking to her father, only to discover it is Richard (Steve Bisley), Jack’s older brother. And he informs her that Jack died two days earlier. Mattie is determined that Jack’s family – her white family – will accept her. So she sets out to drive herself back to Sydney to confront Jack’s wife and other children. As Mattie drives from Canberra to Sydney, we travel back with her to her memories of the time she spent with her dad as a child. When she gets to Sydney she goes straight to Jack’s Butcher’s Shop but discovers that it is now a café run by her half sister Angela (Alicia Gardiner). She manages to strike up a conversation with Angela but decides it would be best to wait until the funeral to reveal her hand. Mattie attends Jack’s funeral, intent on placing her graduation photograph on his coffin and telling the congregation about her relationship to Jack. Before Mattie can do this, Angela recognises her from the café and realises that the conversation they had at the coffee shop about dead fathers was not a coincidence. When Mattie insists on speaking at the funeral, this leads to a very heated confrontation between them, with Angela determined to stop Mattie from hurting her grieving mother. In the end Mattie must decide for herself whether to reveal the truth to all. A Blackfella Films production in association with ABC TV, Screen Australia and Screen NSW 5 | P a g e Redfern Now Season Two Craig McLachlan is Jack One of Australia's most celebrated and versatile actors, Craig McLachlan was awarded Australian television's greatest honour - the TV Week Gold Logie Award in 1990.

    A dark new world: Anatomy of Australian horror films Mark David Ryan Faculty of Creative Industries, Queensland University of Technology A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the degree Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), December 2008 The Films (from top left to right): Undead (2003); Cut (2000); Wolf Creek (2005); Rogue (2007); Storm Warning (2006); Black Water (2007); Demons Among Us (2006); Gabriel (2007); Feed (2005). ii KEY WORDS Australian horror films; horror films; horror genre; movie genres; globalisation of film production; internationalisation; Australian film industry; independent film; fan culture iii ABSTRACT After experimental beginnings in the 1970s, a commercial push in the 1980s, and an underground existence in the 1990s, from 2000 to 2007 contemporary Australian horror production has experienced a period of strong growth and relative commercial success unequalled throughout the past three decades of Australian film history. This study explores the rise of contemporary Australian horror production: emerging production and distribution models; the films produced; and the industrial, market and technological forces driving production. Australian horror production is a vibrant production sector comprising mainstream and underground spheres of production. Mainstream horror production is an independent, internationally oriented production sector on the margins of the Australian film industry producing titles such as Wolf Creek (2005) and Rogue (2007), while underground production is a fan-based, indie filmmaking subculture, producing credit-card films such as I know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer (2006) and The Killbillies (2002). Overlap between these spheres of production, results in ‘high-end indie’ films such as Undead (2003) and Gabriel (2007) emerging from the underground but crossing over into the mainstream.

  • 1 Picturing a Golden Age: September and Australian Rules Pauline Marsh, University of Tasmania It Is 1968, Rural Western Austra
    1 Picturing a Golden Age: September and Australian Rules Pauline Marsh, University of Tasmania Abstract: In two Australian coming-of-age feature films, Australian Rules and September, the central young characters hold idyllic notions about friendship and equality that prove to be the keys to transformative on- screen behaviours. Intimate intersubjectivity, deployed in the close relationships between the indigenous and nonindigenous protagonists, generates multiple questions about the value of normalised adult interculturalism. I suggest that the most pointed significance of these films lies in the compromises that the young adults make. As they reach the inevitable moral crisis that awaits them on the cusp of adulthood, despite pressures to abandon their childhood friendships they instead sustain their utopian (golden) visions of the future. It is 1968, rural Western Australia. As we glide along an undulating bitumen road up ahead we see, from a low camera angle, a school bus moving smoothly along the same route. Periodically a smattering of roadside trees filters the sunlight, but for the most part open fields of wheat flank the roadsides and stretch out to the horizon, presenting a grand and golden vista. As we reach the bus, music that has hitherto been a quiet accompaniment swells and in the next moment we are inside the vehicle with a fair-haired teenager. The handsome lad, dressed in a yellow school uniform, is drawing a picture of a boxer in a sketchpad. Another cut takes us back outside again, to an equally magnificent view from the front of the bus. This mesmerising piece of cinema—the opening of September (Peter Carstairs, 2007)— affords a viewer an experience of tranquillity and promise, and is homage to the notion of a golden age of youth.
