{"product_id":"the-cinema-of-australia-and-new-zealand-9781904764960","title":"The Cinema of Australia and New Zealand","description":"From \u003ci\u003eThe Story of the Kelly Gang\u003c\/i\u003e in 1906 to the \u003ci\u003eLord of the Rings\u003c\/i\u003e trilogy, Australia and New Zealand have made a unique impact on international cinema. This book celebrates the commercially successful narrative feature films produced by these cultures as well as key documentaries, shorts, and independent films. It also invokes issues involving national identity, race, history, and the ability of two small film cultures to survive the economic and cultural threat of Hollywood. Chapters on well known films and directors, such as \u003ci\u003eThe Year of Living Dangerously\u003c\/i\u003e (Peter Weir, 1982), \u003ci\u003eThe Piano\u003c\/i\u003e (Jane Campion, 1993), \u003ci\u003eFellowship of the Ring\u003c\/i\u003e (Peter Jackson, 2001), and \u003ci\u003eRabbit Proof Fence\u003c\/i\u003e (Philip Noyce, 2002), are included with less popular but equally important films and filmmakers, such as \u003ci\u003eJedda\u003c\/i\u003e (Charles Chauvel, 1955), \u003ci\u003eThey're a Weird Mob\u003c\/i\u003e (Michael Powell, 1966), \u003ci\u003eVigil\u003c\/i\u003e (Vincent Ward, 1984), and \u003ci\u003eThe Goddess of 1967\u003c\/i\u003e (Clara Law, 2000).","brand":"Geoff Mayer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42980611031158,"sku":"9781904764960","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/the-cinema-of-australia-and-new-zealand-9781904764960","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
