  3. Cinema Papers' 100 Key Australian Films's icon

    Cinema Papers' 100 Key Australian Films

    Favs/dislikes: 7:0. In 1995, the Australian film magazine "Cinema Papers" polled over 6,000 members of the Australian film community to determine the "100 key films" of the Australian cinema. Those polled included "accredited members of the Australian Film Institute; industry guilds and unions; film critics and reviewers; academics and media teachers; and the NFSA's Kookaburra Card members. "'Key' films were designated as those that have made a notable aesthetic, technical or historically important contribution to Australian cinema. Similarly, the criteria for 'Australia-ness' was defined broadly rather than narrowly." The list excludes any films "made specifically for television or non-film formats."

  6. Creative Spirits' list of Aboriginal works's icon

    Creative Spirits' list of Aboriginal works

    Favs/dislikes: 3:0. "Movies with Aboriginal content were rare before the mid-1990s. It wasn’t before the international success of the movie Rabbit-Proof Fence that the awareness for Aboriginal issues increased, even in Europe where this film was screened for almost half a year in Germany. Many of the films listed here are available on DVD or Blue-Ray." The first part lists works with Aboriginal directors. Their content might not relate to Aboriginal culture. (1-99) The latter part lists works with Aboriginal topics which were directed by non-Aboriginal people. (100-195) There are many works missing from IMDB: https://goo.gl/bdG9FS Please comment or message me if you find any of the missing works. Last updated to match Creative Spirits website: 2015-06-06

    Curnblog's The 100 Greatest Australian Films: Cinema Down Under

    Favs/dislikes: 3:0. James Curnow / October 30, 2014 Why write a list of the 100 greatest Australian films? While recently browsing through a book on the history of Australian cinema, it occurred to me that most Australian film buffs and cinephiles actually have a very limited concept of the nation’s cinematic output. Except for those films that first garner significant positive attention internationally, Aussies are often very reluctant to bother seeing the great movies being produced in their own backyards. A perfect example lies in the recent release of the Australian horror film, The Babadook, which faded into oblivion upon its initial local release before subsequently garnering significant critical and commercial attention internationally. As a result, local audiences are now paying a little more attention. There are many reasons for this tendency: cultural-cringe, poor marketing, and a perceived tendency in Australian films to be either too serious or too broad. The result is that a lot of people (both within and outside of Australia) miss seeing many films which they would probably thoroughly enjoy. And so, to help those who might be interested in broadening their knowledge of the nation’s cinema, I’m pulling together a five-part series of articles on the 100 greatest Australian films of all time, running from The Story of the Kelly Gang in 1906, right up to the recent release of The Rover. And so, without further ado, here is Part One.
