Open Letter Fifty of Australia’S Leading Writers for Stage and Screen Add Their Voice to Oppose Productivity Commission Recommendations on Copyright in Australia OPEN LETTER FIFTY OF AUSTRALIA’S LEADING WRITERS FOR STAGE AND SCREEN ADD THEIR VOICE TO OPPOSE PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS ON COPYRIGHT IN AUSTRALIA. Did you love Underbelly, Offspring, Rake, Emerald City, The Drover’s Wife, Red Dog, Away, Animal Kingdom or The Secret River? Or Strictly Ballroom, Neighbours, Happy Feet, Don’s Party, Muriel’s Wedding or Babe? As writers telling some of Australia’s best-loved stories across stage and screen, we the undersigned unanimously reject the Productivity Commission’s recommendations on copyright in Australia. The recommendations to relax copyright protections are straight out of the Big Tech playbook and will harm the ability of Australia’s home-grown writers to tell Australian stories and make a living. Australian writers have a right to receive fair payment for their work and to work in a thriving industry with the ability to invest in the Australian story-telling that entertains millions of people each week on stage and on screen. The changes to Australian copyright laws being pushed by the Productivity Commission, large organisations and big technology companies will threaten our jobs, the jobs of future writers, and the livelihood of our industry. Australian kids should be able to grow up inspired and entertained by our stories and our culture. However, these changes are a threat to the creation of Australian movies, TV shows and plays and mean it may be even harder to make a living for the next generation of writers, playwrights and screenwriters. At a time when jurisdictions around the world are reviewing the impact of major technology companies on cultural production, we call on the Australian Government and parliament to protect Australian stories and rule out the Productivity’s Commissions proposed changes.

    MEDIA RELEASE 29 July 2020 The past isn’t done with us yet… Catherine Văn-Davies leads the ensemble cast of new Australian drama series Hungry Ghosts Four-night special event on SBS Monday 24 August – Thursday 27 August at 9:30pm • INTERVIEWS AVAILABLE • IMAGES AND SCREENERS: HERE • FIRST LOOK TRAILER: HERE Chilling, captivating and utterly compelling, Hungry Ghosts follows four families that find themselves haunted by ghosts from the past. Filmed and set in Melbourne during the month of the Hungry Ghost Festival, when the Vietnamese community venerate their dead, this four-part drama series event from Matchbox Pictures premieres over four consecutive nights, Monday 24 August – Thursday 27 August at 9:30pm on SBS. When a tomb in Vietnam is accidentally opened on the eve of the Hungry Ghost Festival, a vengeful spirit is unleashed, bringing the dead with him. As these spirits wreak havoc across the Vietnamese-Australian community in Melbourne, reclaiming lost loves and exacting revenge, young woman May Le (Văn-Davies) must rediscover her true heritage and accept her destiny to help bring balance to a community still traumatised by war. Hungry Ghosts reflects the extraordinary lived and spiritual stories of the Vietnamese community and explores the inherent trauma passed down from one generation to the next, and how notions of displacement impact human identity – long after the events themselves. With one of the most diverse casts featured in an Australian drama series, Hungry Ghosts comprises more than 30 Asian-Australian actors and 325

But Dave, a surprisingly trenchant things to say about Australian identity and drunken Irish talent scout, thinks they have potential. the bitter legacy of institutionalised racism. Seeing them as Australia's answer to 'The Of course, none of this would really hit home unless we believed in Supremes', he recruits their cousin Kay to The Sapphires as authentic soul sisters, achieved thanks to the group, and convinces them to switch to ‘Australian Idol’ finalist Jessica Mauboy’s sumptuous lead vocals, soul songs.

With rising star O’Dowd in command of both the comic timing and emotional grace notes and beautifully playing off Deborah Mailman as the group’s alpha female, the movie is gutsy and entertaining enough to have us forgiving its occasional credibility glitches and obviously CGI-ed battlefront visuals.

  • FAITHFUL UNDER FIRE: a BIBLE STUDY and DEVOTIONAL for the FILM Introduction
    FAITHFUL UNDER FIRE: A BIBLE STUDY AND DEVOTIONAL FOR THE FILM Introduction Hacksaw Ridge, a new film released by Lions Gate Entertainment, Inc., tells the story of Private First Class Desmond Doss, an Army medic who received the nation’s highest award for valor, the Medal of Honor. The MOH decoration is awarded only for conspicuous and personal acts of valor that are unequivocally deemed to be “above and beyond the call of duty.” Desmond Doss was the first conscientious objector to receive that award — and one of only three ever to do so in our Nation’s history. Doss, a Seventh-day Adventist Christian, had a personal, deeply held, biblically formed conviction not to kill — or even to carry a weapon. Nevertheless, he voluntarily enlisted in the Army in 1942 as a combat medic so as to fulfill his calling to serve both his country and his fellow soldiers by saving lives rather than taking them. But a significant part of Desmond’s story is the staunch resistance he faced in the U.S. Army — from both his superiors and fellow soldiers alike, who deemed his non-combatant stance to be a guise for cowardice. The manner in which Doss tenaciously holds-onto his Scripturally based beliefs and ultimately proves himself under the most excruciating and even barbaric combat conditions not only makes for gripping drama. It also confronts everyone who similarly holds biblical convictions in a pluralistic or secular “marketplace” with a challenging roadmap for living faithfully in this world as citizens of our Nation while reserving our highest allegiance to the Kingdom of God.

  • JAS Style Guide and Submission Requirements 2020
    JAS Style Guide and Submission Requirements The Journal of Australian Studies (JAS) is a fully refereed, multidisciplinary international journal. JAS publishes scholarly articles and reviews about Australian culture, society, politics, history and literature. Contributors should be familiar with the aim and scope of the journal. Articles should be between 6,000 and 8,000 words, including footnotes. An abstract, title and at least five keywords will be requested during the online submission process. Titles and abstracts should be concise, accurate and informative to enable readers to find your article through search engines and databases. JAS’s style and referencing system is based closely on Chicago footnoting, with some occasional deviations (e.g. Australian date format). Please refer to the complete Chicago Manual of Style (17th edition, or online at https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html) for issues that are not covered by the following instructions. Format Use a standard font—such as Times New Roman, Arial or Calibri—in 12-point size. Use double line spacing and indent the first line of each paragraph (but not at the beginning of the article, or a new section, or following an image, table or indented quote). Insert a single line break between sections, but not between paragraphs or footnotes, and not following headings or block quotations. Avoid extra space or blank lines between paragraphs. If you do want a break to appear in the printed version, indicate this explicitly with three asterisks set on a separate line. Sub-headings can improve the flow and cohesion of your article. Use a maximum of two levels: first- level headings should appear in bold type, and second-level headings should appear in italics.

The Music We Watch Kelsey De Pree Music History II April 5, 2017 Music is universal. It is present from the beginning of history appearing in all cultures, nations, economic classes, and styles. Music in America is heard on radios, in cars, on phones, and in stores. Television commercials feature jingles so viewers can remember the products; radio ads sing phone numbers so that listeners can recall them. In schools, students sing songs to learn subjects like math, history, and English, and also to learn about general knowledge like the days of the week, months of the year, and presidents of the United States. With the amount of music that is available, it is not surprising that music has also made its way into movie theatres and has become one of the primary agents for conveying emotion and plot during a cinematic production.
