American-australian Cinema Transnational Connections

This Edited Collection Assesses The Complex Historical And Contemporary Relationships Between Us And Australian Cinema By Tapping Directly Into Discussions Of National Cinema, Transnationalism And Global Hollywood. While Most Equivalent Studies Aim To Define National Cinema As Independent From Or In Competition With Hollywood, This Collection Explores A More Porous Set Of Relationships Through The Varied Production, Distribution And Exhibition Associations Between Australia And The Us. To Explore This Idea, The Book Investigates The Influence That Australia Has Had On Us Cinema Through The Exportation Of Its Stars, Directors And Other Production Personnel To Hollywood, While Also Charting The Sustained Influence Of Us Cinema On Australia Over The Last Hundred Years.
