Monday 6 th July 9am Early Australian Cinema Frank Callinan – Monday 9am - 10.30am Frank’s talk will commence with a brief history of Australian film making from its infancy, and will include a look at the early leading lights - Raymond Longford, Lottie Lyell, Ken Hall and Charles Chauvel. Then he will move on to clips from several Australian films through to the 1950s. Movies such as The Story of the Kelly Gang, The Sentimental Bloke, For the Term of his Natural Life and In the Wake of the Bounty will feature. Many people don’t realise just how vibrant Australia cinema was in its early days. This is a bit of a trip down memory lane and is a must for movie buffs. 1 The Anzac Nurses and the Legend of their Service Philip Castle – Monday 9am-10.30am The Anzac Nurses worked under the most appalling conditions on remote islands like Lemnos in the Aegean Sea and in hospitals in Alexandria and Cairo. On Lemnos they initially worked without medical supplies, sanitation, water and general supplies. Eight received the Military Cross and 25 died in service. Their story is only now starting to be told and it is interesting and something we should all be proud of, particularly in this year, the anniversary of the Anzac tradition. Philip will give you an insight into this inspirational piece of our history. 11am The End of the Ottoman Empire and the Making of the Middle East Coral Johnson – Monday 11am-12.30pm This is a fascinating story about an empire that lasted more than 600 years from the 13th to the 20th centuries. Beginning in Asia Minor, the Turks extended their territory into the Balkans and beyond and under Suleiman the Magnificent the Ottoman Turkish Empire reached its peak in the 16th century. Except for occasional massacres, it was tolerant of its non-Muslim populations who were required by law to pay a special head and property tax. After the Russo-Turkish wars in the 18th and 19th centuries they lost large amounts of territory and became known as ‘The Sick Man of Europe’. The Second World War was the final nail in the coffin as borders were redrawn, regardless of ethnicity or religion, setting the stage for what is happening today. It is an important slice of history and as many of our members know Coral really knows her stuff. Spirituality in Art Rosemarie Schukraft – Monday 11am at Qld State Art Gallery (repeated 1pm Friday) As a long time volunteer tour guide with QAGOMA Rosemarie knows the gallery very well indeed and is well qualified to lead this interesting tour. Spirituality in Art is there if you just know where to look for it and her tour will encompass our wonderful collection of Aboriginal Art as well as the more traditional Australian and European art. Looking at these through the eyes of someone who knows and understands it will open your eyes and give you a new appreciation of some of the great art to be found in the gallery. After this – have some lunch - then wander up to the library for the Keynote Speech. Meet outside the Coffee Shop by the water feature. The Rise of China – Whither the West Martin Stuart-Fox – Monday 11am-12.30pm Since the mid-1980s when the People’s Republic of China began to open up to the world, China’s rise has been inexorable, primarily in economic terms, but more recently militarily and politically. Chinese investment now spans the world, and China competes for influence with the United States, Europe and Japan. He will speak on the strengths and weaknesses of China today in historical perspective, and compare them with those of the West, and will examine Chinese aspirations, and assess whether they pose any threat to the current world order. Martin studied evolutionary biology at UQ and worked as a marine biologist in PNG before leaving for Asia. He taught science and mathematics in Hong Kong and worked for USAID in Laos as an agricultural extension officer. There he joined the American news agency UPI as staff correspondent and covered the Second Indochina War in Laos and Vietnam, with subsequent assignments in France, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. On his return to Australia he became Head of the History Department at UQ and has written numerous books on the history and politics of South East Asia. 2 State Library Tour Monday 11am - 12.30am (free) A number of people were disappointed to miss out last year so we are running this tour again. The SLQ is much more than just a library. Their activities include research, history, preservation and restoration of priceless artifacts and books. They provide a range of services we can all access, everything from free meeting rooms, special large exhibitions and small lesser known ones, film screenings and lectures. Learn what goes on behind the scenes at our world class library – make a day of it – have lunch and then join us for the Keynote Speech. Meet in the main reception area where you enter to go up to the auditorium. 2.00pm Keynote Address: Professor Ian Frazer Main auditorium, State Library of Queensland, Monday 2.00pm – 3.30pm We are very fortunate indeed to have obtained another great Australian as our Keynote speaker for this year’s Winter School. Professor Ian Frazer AC, FRS, FAA is a lecturer at the University of Queensland and currently leads his research group in the Epithelial Cancer Division at UQDI. Best known as the man who developed the vaccine for cervical cancer, he is responsible for saving thousands of lives today and millions more into the future. He was also the first to confirm that AIDS was common in Australia and Frazer’s work contributed to the growing body of knowledge that identified HIV as the cause of AIDS. This fascination with immunology led him to Dr Jian Zhou, an expert in gene cloning, at Cambridge University. They became friends and collaborators with Dr Zhou finally joining his research group at UQ. They were a formidable team and it is a sad thing that Dr Zhou did not live to see the widespread use of the technology he had co-developed. Their long and difficult journey to get this vaccine into the public domain is testament to their brilliance and their determination to keep going at all costs. And remember folks – this was all accomplished here in Brisbane Queensland. They put Queensland at the forefront on scientific research not only in Queensland, but the world. Thus far Frazer and his colleagues have developed two promising new immunotherapies for HPV associated cancers which are currently in early stage trials. In his search for the immune on/off switch Frazer notes “we have observed that the local factors, particularly inflammation, determine whether vaccine-induced immune responses are locally effective against chronic virus infection and skin cancer”. What a wonderful thing it would be if they could develop a vaccine for Skin Cancer – one of the leading cancer related killers in Australia. A much sought after and inspirational speaker you will not want to miss. U3A gratefully acknowledges the support of the State Library of Qld for this event. 3 Tuesday 7 th July 9 am Odyssey Travel Tuesday 9am-10.30am Odyssey have a great selection of new and educational tours. Travel with a Paleontologist and visit the dinosaur sites in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, immerse yourself in Mandarin in Beijing at the Beijing Chinese Language and Culture College. The Taiwan Lantern Festival is an amazing sight. Discover Myanmar or the Art and Food in Tuscany or how about Scandinavia. Odyssey has a guided tour for everyone and they take care of all the details. Numbers, their Minders and Keepers: good, bad, mad, and sometimes sad. Professor Peter Galbraith – Tuesday 9am-10.30am Common numbers pervade our everyday existence, assure our security, and impact even on the paper we write on. Some have created watersheds in history. This presentation will sample anecdotes from their invention, evolution, and application and of the people associated with them. Bring a simple calculator, paper, ruler, pen and pencil. Professor Peter Galbraith has an outstanding profile in mathematics education. In research, Peter’s major contribution has been in the field of mathematical modelling and the teaching of modelling to secondary school students. Peter is widely recognised for his international leadership in mathematics education.

  • Frederick Fisher and the Legend of Fisher's Ghost Booklet(4MB, PDF)
    Frederick Fisher and the legend of Fisher’s Ghost Your guide to Campbelltown’s most infamous resident Frederick Fisher and the legend of Fisher’s Ghost The legend of Fisher’s Ghost is one of Australia’s most well-known ghost stories. Since John Farley first told the story of his encounter with the spectre, tales of the ghost have inspired writers, artists, poets, songwriters and film producers, and captivated the imagination of generations. Who was Frederick Fisher? Frederick George James Fisher was born in London on 28 August 1792. He was the son of James and Ann Fisher, who were London bookbinders and booksellers of Cripplegate and Greenwich. Fred was of average height, had a fair complexion and brown hair. By his early 20s, he was a shopkeeper, and although unmarried, was believed to possibly be the father of two children. Either innocently or deliberately, Fred obtained forged bank notes through his business for which he was arrested and tried at the Surrey Gaol Delivery on 26 July 26 1815. He was sentenced to 14 years transportation to Australia with 194 other convicts aboard the Atlas, which set sail from England on 16 January 1816, and landed in Australia eight months later, on 16 September 1816. Fred Fisher could read and write and because literate men were rare in the colony, the crown solicitor recommended him to the colonial administrator, TJ Campbell, who attached Fred to his staff. Within two years, Fred was assigned as superintendent to the Waterloo Flour Company, which was owned and managed by ex-convicts and was the most influential and dynamic enterprise in colonial NSW.

  • Chapter 3 Good Mother, Bad Mother and the Changing Boundaries
    1 chapter 3 good mother, bad mother and the changing boundaries The mothering of a child is not something that can be arranged by rota; it is a live human relationship which alters the characters of both partners.1 Traditionally, the good mother has been associated with self-sacrifice. An extract from a Catholic education course on marriage in 1958 illustrates the point: To successfully fulfil her vocation of motherhood, the woman should possess great qualities of heart. Her entire life should be devoted to procuring happiness for those around her…It is natural for her to be devoted.2 This view of motherhood assigns women to a subservient position. It does not take into account the changing structure of the family, and instead, creates an environment which reinforces the belief that the mother's place is within the home, and primarily concerned with raising the children. The restrictive maternal role is endorsed in part by images in films which have the capacity to both reflect and influence ways of thinking. This chapter considers the representation of the mother in Australian feature films to decipher the way in which the narrative characterises good and bad maternal behaviour. The introductory chapter of this research contained a broad overview of historical events which were significant for the maternal role. The present chapter, in its first section, deals in more detail with those aspects which relate directly to expectations of good mothering. The second section of the chapter examines the way the mother is depicted in films. The designation of her as either a good or bad mother can be determined by her demeanour, the attitude of others towards her and, perhaps, above all, by her treatment in the narrative in terms of penalties or benefits reaped by her behaviour.

Nationhood, it seemed, was in the air. The 1890 Australian Federation Conference in Melbourne, followed by the 1891 National Australasian Convention in Sydney, appeared to confirm genuine interest in the national cause. Yet the Melbourne and Sydney meetings brought together only politicians and those who might be politicians. These were meetings, held in the Australian continent’s two most influential cities, which only succeeded in registering the aims and ambitions of a very narrow section of the colonial population. In the months following Sydney’s Convention, the momentum of the official movement was dissipated as the big strikes and severe depression engulfed the colonies.

  • SCREENING MOTHERS: Representations of Motherhood in Australian Films from 1900 to 1988
    SCREENING MOTHERS: Representations of motherhood in Australian films from 1900 to 1988 CAROLINE M. PASCOE B.A. (Honours) M.A. UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 1998 ii The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original, except as acknowledged in the text. The material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. CAROLINE MYRA PASCOE iii ABSTRACT Although the position of mothers has changed considerably since the beginning of the twentieth century, an idealised notion of motherhood persists. The cinema provides a source of information about attitudes towards mothering in Australian society which is not diminished by the fact that mothers are often marginal to the narrative. While the study recognises that cinematic images are not unconditionally authoritative, it rests on the belief that films have some capacity to reflect and influence society. The films are placed in an historical context with regard to social change in Australian society, so that the images can be understood within the context of the time of the making and viewing of the films. The depictions of the mother are scrutinised with regard to her appearance, her attitude, her relationship with others and the expectations, whether explicit or implicit, of her role. Of particular significance is what happens to her during the film and whether she is punished or rewarded for her behaviour. The conclusions reached after analysis are used to challenge those ideas which assume that portrayals of motherhood are unchangeable and timeless.

  • Copyright Sources for Australian Drama and Film Richard Fotheringham Many Early Australian Play Scripts Have Survived Only Because of Stage Censorship
    Copyright Sources For Australian Drama and Film Richard Fotheringham Many early Australian play scripts have survived only because of stage censorship. Such manuscripts have been retained in files in the Australian Archives’ copyright files. The author outlines some of his more interesting discoveries during his research, and describes how to proceed to view them. One of the side benefits of the otherwise dubious practice of stage censorship is that it was an excellent way of ensuring that scripts of performed plays were preserved for posterity. It is because of the Lord Chamberlain’s Office in London, for example, that complete manuscripts of two of the most important Australian plays of the nineteenth century George Darrell’s The Sunny South and Alfred Dampier and Garnet Walch’s stage version of Robbery Under Arms — were preserved in the British Library and eventually published in modern critical editions.1 The British censorship system became involved because both plays had at different times been staged in London, as were several other Australian plays held in this collection. It has usually been assumed that the survival of unpublished playtexts performed only in Australia, after the early attempts at censorship, was a far less regular or regulated business, and that we are faced with the almost total disappearance of the plays of several vigorous and exciting ages of Australian drama, including significant works written as recently as the 1930s. It is not just stage history which is impoverished by the loss of these texts, for the live stage has always been a place where the Australian language, its slang and colloquialisms, is quickly picked up; and a place too where contemporary ideas about nationhood, nationalism, aboriginal people, ethnic minorities, the role of women in Australian society, the Australian identity, war, the bush and the city etc, have been freely discussed.

  • Lottie Lyell
    Lottie Lyell: the silent work of an early Australian scenario writer http://www.screeningthepast.com/2015/08/lottie-lyell-the-silent-work-of-an-early-australian-scenario... Current Issue Back Issues Occasional Papers Publications Webteque Events About Us Archives Margot Nash Lottie Lyell was a much-loved silent movie star in the early days of cinema in Australia. She was also an accomplished scenario writer, director, film editor, and producer. Quietly working alongside director, Raymond Longford, she had a considerable influence on the twenty-eight films they made together. [1] Longford directed and Lyell starred in nearly all the films, but it is now generally accepted that she contributed a great deal more to all the films than was officially acknowledged at the time. [2] This article builds on the existing research on Lyell through a focus on her work as a scenario writer. It also makes a contribution to screenwriting research through a study of some of the original scenarios held in the archives. In her work on the Canadian silent screen star, scenario writer, director, and producer, Nell Shipman, Kay Armitage writes of the experience of original research in the archives and “the sense of the body of the subject as perceived through the sensorium of the researcher”: … every time Shipman typed a capital, the letter jumped up half a line, and when she came to the end of a sentence, she hit the period key with such force that it left a hole in the paper … That it is Shipman’s body that we contact, rather than a simple fault in the machine, is proven when we read a letter written by Shipman’s husband on the same typewriter.
