Australian Film Festivals: Audience, Place, and Exhibition Culture (Framing Film Festivals) by Kirsten Stevens
English | 10 Nov. 2016 | ISBN: 1137586370 | 284 Pages | PDF | 2.72 MB

This is the first book to offer an in-depth examination of the history, operation, and growth of film festivals as a cultural phenomenon within Australia. Tracing the birth of film festivals in Australia in the 1950s through to their present abundance, it asks why film festivals have prospered as audience-driven spectacles throughout Australia, while never developing the same industry and market foci of their international fellows. Drawing on over sixty-years of archival records, festival commentary, interviews with festival insiders and ephemera, this book opens up a largely uncharted history of film culture activity in Australia.
