Series: Directory of World Cinema

Building on and bringing up to date the material presented in the first installment of Directory of World Cinema: Australia and New Zealand,

this volume continues the exploration of the cinema produced in

Australia and New Zealand since the beginning of the twentieth century.

Among the additions to this volume are in-depth treatments of the

locations that feature prominently in the countries’ cinema. Essays by

leading critics and film scholars consider the significance of the

outback and the beach in films, which are evoked as a liminal space in Long Weekend and a symbol of death in Heaven’s Burning, among

other films. Other contributions turn the spotlight on previously

unexplored genres and key filmmakers, including Jane Campion, Rolf de

Heer, Charles Chauvel, and Gillian Armstrong. Accompanying the critical essays in this volume are more than one hundred and fifty new

film reviews, complemented by film stills and significantly

expanded references for further study. From The Piano to Crocodile Dundee, Directory of World Cinema: Australia and New Zealand 2 completes this comprehensive treatment of a consistently fascinating national cinema.
