Description and Table of Contents
Description
A reference for anyone interested in Australian movies. The companion is a comprehensive guide to the people and ideas that have made Australian cinema and contains over 1000 entries from nearly 100 scholars and writers with expertise in different facets of Australian film. Features include detailed entries on key figures (actors, directors, producers, writers, designers, composers); discussions of major films, with credits and plot summaries; longer essays on critical and historical themes; a series of extended interviews (specially prepared for the volume) with some of the luminaries of Australian film, including Geoffrey Rush and Pamela Rabe; and over 100 illustrations (portraits, stills, and posters). The book also offers a thorough bibliography, a full list of AFI awards and a subject index providing easy access to relevant entries. The companion is intended both to celebrate Australia's love of the movies and to provide a comprehensive and entertaining account of its unique contribution to the art.
