AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In the introductory chapter of Second Take, Raffaele Caputo and Geoff Burton affirm the phrase “reculer pour mieux sauter” as the impulse of their collection. This eclectic and self-reflective collection of essays, interviews and diary entries reviews fifty years of Australian film-making in order to establish its health, current standing and future. The contributors, who are both practitioners and critics rather than film academics, discuss the post-colonial legacy which has shaped Australian cinema and, crucially, the logistics of getting films made in a Hollywood-dominated yet global financial economy. Their themes call into question rigid academic notions of national cinema and reveal the pragmatic relationship between film-making, artistic vision, location and the material conditions of production.'  (Introduction)
