FLM 328 - Australian Cinema

1 course unit

The Australian Cinema embodies the spatial and temporal conditions of a distant, strange continent that is home to a complex relationship between the majority immigrant population (bearing the traditions and values of European, North American, and now Asian communities) and an indigenous people who date back over 50,000 years. The course will explore these issues by focusing on films made by Australian directors at home and abroad and films made in Australia by non-Australian directors.
Attendance at weekly screenings is required.
