Offers an important insight into the formative moments of transnational film culture in AustraliaProvides vibrant textual studies of under-evaluated Australian international picturesDevelops an understanding of international film production in the years following WWII and before the Australian film revival of the 1970sCorrects the perception that there was no significant feature film production in Australia after the 1930s and before the revivalOffers background and important precedents for the more recent practices of global co-productions and ‘Hollywood Down-under’Australian International Pictures examines the concept and definition of Australian film in relation to a range of local, international and global practices and trends that blur neat categorisations of national cinema. Although international co-production is particularly acute in the present day, this book examines the porous nature of Australian International filmmaking, and the intriguing transnational and cross-cultural formations created by globally targeted but locally focussed films made in Australia in the period 1946–75.Case Studies:The Overlanders (1946) and Ealing Down UnderKangaroo (1952)On the Beach (1959)The Sundowners (1960)The Drifting Avenger (1968)Age of Consent (1969)Color Me Dead (1970)Ned Kelly (1970)Walkabout (1971)Wake in Fright (1971)The Man from Hong Kong (1975)
