DOWNLOAD THE DIRECTORY OF WORLD CINEMA: AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND

Free for a limited time! 

This addition to Intellect’s Directory of World Cinema series turns the spotlight on Australia and New Zealand. This ambitious volume offers an in-depth and exciting look at the cinema produced in these two countries since the turn of the twentieth century. Though the two nations share considerable cultural and economic connections, their film industries remain distinct, marked by differences of scale, level of government involvement and funding, and relations with other countries and national cinemas. Through essays about prominent genres and themes, profiles of directors, and comprehensive reviews of significant titles, this user-friendly guide explores the diversity and distinctiveness of films from Australia and New Zealand from Whale Rider to The Piano to Wolf Creek.

As an academic publisher of subjects related to creative media, Intellect has established a strong reputation in the field of cinema studies through its book and journal programmes. We are excited about the launch of this project, which will bring a new dimension to the academic study of film – the Directory of World Cinema.

The project consists of three components:

• A pre-print web-based database, which will facilitate content collection and provide free access to the content.
• A series of printed volumes for each world region, of about 300 pages per volume. In each series, a new volume with original content will be published every two years.
• Post-publication online PDFs of the published material, sold to libraries.
