Australian International Pictures (1946 - 75) by Adrian Danks

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.

"Before Australian cinema's breakthrough in the early 1980s, visiting filmmakers made important and varied contributions to what Danks and Verevis call 'the imagination of Australia'The Overlanders, On the Beach, Age of Consent, Ned Kelly and Walkabout are among the international productions here valuably reconsidered from a contemporary Australian perspective." -Ian Christie, Birkbeck College, University of London
