Deborah S. (debstoiber) reviewed Australian Cinema: The First Eighty Years on + 21 more book reviews
This is a good book to read and understand the story behind the Australian Film industry. Broken into ten chapters, authors Graham Shirley and Brian Adams explain how filmmakers in Australia stuggled to get their films made and screened in a market dominated by American-made films. While the book does give some plot information of key films, it is more of a history of the overall industry and the struggle for financing and distribution.
I recommend this book to those interested in International Cinema and the impact of Hollywood films in those markets.
